Dont think its a 64 looks more like a 65 which is the long wheel base, is that the chassis as it looks like a 70s model with that front cross member?

Chassis number 4 fj 45 ****** makes it 64. Started with a rusty chassis and used parts of a 76 and 82 chassis and various other vehicles to repair and modify it to suit my needs. Front cross member modified. Front suspension modified HT Holden. Gearbox cross member modified HZ holden. Center cross member modified. Shocky cross member modified. Rear cross member modified. Front and rear of chassis shortened. all rear spring hangers relocated using 82 model pressed spring hangers rather than the original cast ones and modified front springs used. A lot of those what look like rivets are actually high tensile button head bolts to help keep the original look. And yes it's all engineered

you do some unique work uted; impressed with your skills.

that 64 interests me. would have certainly called it a 65 myself. never seen one with the later cab but still retaining the 4 prefix on the chassis number. 64 seems to be the last year with the prefix. was the id plate marked the same?
