There have been trucks in worse condition brought back to life for sure. Good to see another one rescued. It actually appears to have quite a lot of the original bits, so at least you will won't need be chasing as many odds and ends.

the fj45 belong to a toyota dealership before it was sell to an old lady it came with the after market heater and is missing most of the switches on the dash and the marrors are not original

Dude, that has the coolest patina I have seen in a long time. Clay bar it, clear coat it, stuff a diesel in it and drive it!

I like the patina too, but I think clear coated trucks are gonna scream teens like matte colors in the aughts and neon colors in the 80s.
