I'm finally getting around to posting some pictures of the new addition to our family 
This popped up for sale on the local market, I really went to look at it just to look at it, he wanted a bit more than I was willing to pay, after seeing how good of condition it was in (relative to the typical Utah rig), I had to have it. The only way I was convincing my wife we needed another Land Cruiser was to make it hers
The plans are pretty simple, build it up for a weekend rig for her... let here run to the grocery store, garden center, and to lunch with the gals... mabey take it on a camping trip or two.
Plans:
Body re-work, repair as much as I can, replace the tailgate, its hammered.
R&R interior, I've source most of the door/window weatherstripping
Motor overhaul? Likely later down the road, it actually runs pretty decent now
Tidy up the wiring, thankfully they left it 99% intact. With the exception of a horn and an aftermarket ignition switch is all original. I have a couple early ignition switches, I'm going to try and have one rekeyed to match the original key (fits the door).
More to come...
Parts I Need: Let me know if you know of a source!
PTO Winch (where are they when I actually want one )
Bug catcher window w/s (anyone making these again?)
Tailgate
OE Carb (has Rochester but runs)
Hub caps (have later model ones I will likely use, but I'de like a full set of the period correct ones)
Rear Tailight assemblies
Rear tailight plugs for vehicle side of harness (this one has been hacked)
Repro Engine, Heater, etc stickers (FoxFab do these??)
Fuse Block Cover
