71 FJ40 semi stocker build......

[Texican]

I picked this up a couple of years ago, no motor, but lots of nice things.........

Nice fabric interior......

Sweet over head console

Jumps nicely done, spaced out to clear roll bar....

Vintage HVAC

New headliner, and drip rail, the dummies did not paint the inside of the rail

First thing lose the bumper, and the white spokes......

Next, detail and install an 86 2F I had with the 71 externals......

I ordered one of the bolt kits the guy is selling, nice........

Stay tuned for new paint ..........

Very nice neat truck.
Is a new custom front bar on the cards?
and what colour will you paint it?

Very nice, keep it coming

Nice ride. Looks like most everything was there. I really like to overhead console. Plans are for me to buld one almost just like that.

Got her back from body shop fantastic job........hopefully I won't nick too much stuff putting her back together....

 

[Texican]

Assembly going slower than I hoped.......hell trying to be extra careful...taking first break of the day and having a couple of

$650 worth of stuff on this table...

That's going to be a great looking cruiser when you're done. Good eye on ditching that observation deck of a front bumper.

 

[Texican]

Wow, putting one back together with fresh paint is a f'n chore, spent 3 hrs getting the fiberglass portion of the top lined up and the rubber in place to suit me, fixing to start assembling doors

 

[Texican]

New bolts sure do "pop" against the new shiny paint.......

The 2 bolts away from the hinge, go all the way thru into the window channel, long ones hit the window, causing breakage and cursing..........

Hi All:

Beautiful rig Butch! Nice job!!

I am surprised that you would use the '71 vintage ignition system instead of the fully electronic system that came on the '86 2F.

Regards,

Alan
