Fitment is the whole point of this listing: the factory service and repair manual is written to the 1978 Toyota Land Cruiser as Toyota built it that year, in the utility bodies it was actually sold in, so the clearances, torque figures and adjustment sequences it gives are the ones that belong to this vehicle and not to a different year of the line.

Known issues on the 1978 Land Cruiser. NHTSA has no recalls on record for the 1978 Land Cruiser, and no owner complaints and no technical service bulletins are filed for the year either. An empty federal record is common for a truck of this age, and it means no factory revisions were layered on top of the original procedures, which stand unamended.
With nothing on file federally, what you chase on a 1978 Land Cruiser is age and wear rather than a known defect, and that work turns on having Toyota's original tolerances and adjustment values rather than approximations.
