i new i would have one again one day . So when i turned 19 i bought a 1977 FJ40 for $3200 bucks ,with a fiberglass
one piece front end ,header and holly 350 . which i promptly rolled 8 months later righting it off .i fell asleep
rolled it on the highway at about 65-70 MPH and walked away, good thing for the full cage .which in turn
led me through a few more cruisers .until i am where i am today .a mix and match of pieces
from all my cruisers over the years. here we go. starting with the before .

forgot to mention ,the checkerplate is coated with undercoating on the back side
.one day i will pull it off and the body lift to lower the rig . a few pics at cruiser days
rig doesn't see the dirt much any more because i can't haul all the kids and i don't leave home without them .
here's some pics from the last trip out for me (coastal cruiser's cruiser days).

Awesome 40 bro. Someday I hope mine looks that nice. I actually didn't think the diamond plate looks that bad.
All in all, sweet rig!

i don't think the diamond plate looks that bad either and i have had it on all my rigs .but during this rebuild i kept saying to myself .i wouldn't do this time .try something new.like i said a few beers on a nice day and it looked like it was missing something .so the little women talked me into bolting it back on .

great pics, especially the older ones recognized a few of the locations too. Why not paint the diamondplate the body color if it's bugging you? I think it looks good the way it is always liked that style of aluminum rim too, they're hard to find.

Nice writeup, pics and especially family! Keep up the good work.
I use the divide and conquer method with mine. I take them wheeling one at a time.

thanks for the compliments guys .my kids do love the thing, in the summer they climb all over it like a jungle gym. as for my dad driving it he hasn't driven this one yet . after driving my last one from downtown vancouver to richmond with the bump steer and the out of adjustment rear drum's .he won't touch it again . needless to say all has been fixed or upgraded .maybe one day he will get back in it ,he also lives in Saskatchewan now . so it's a little hard for him to take it out for a spin . but he still does think these old cruiser are pretty cool
