Total longshot but thought I'd post this up for trade. Love this hot rod but also love FJ40's and have the itch.

1929 Model A Body and bed
34 Chevy truck frame
1948 Flathead 8
1950's School bus seat

Run s and drives great. Runs quiet. Converted to 12 volt. gets tons of attention.

Looking to trade for a stock-ish$10k+ Fj40 cruiser.

Wish you were near California. And wanted mine. I would trade. Sure my kid would live to have that.

John,

Don't you have a friend who does shipping?

 

[copper204]

Yes. But both of us need to be confident in trade....lol

Yes. But both of us need to be confident in trade....lol

Lol, I meant JSaltlick. His buddy is a transport broker I think.

Cali would be a tough trade distance. Would be fun to drive the 29 out there though!!

Just checked out your 73. looks pretty clean!

 

[copper204]

Yes retry much rust free. She has a tad surface rust on floor. But was well taken care of and was kept in a garage by previous owner. No PO hack jobs. It has a 20
gallon rear tank, that I have never figured out how to use...lol. I also would love the drive. She cruises all day a 70 mph turning 2700 rpm. First gear is so bloody tall on the 3 speeds. If it was an auto. I would keep it. It was impressive during winter.

 

[copper204]

I still love it. Wifey and me on trips till middle of July

I've ridden in the hot rod and have purchased a truck and parts off John in the past. He is a good guy and I'd vouch for him.

 

[copper204]

I would so live to trade. I am not worried about me not liking the Ford. I just would hate for him being disappointed with my Fj40. She is a very clean rig. Just wish closer. Would be a done deal. I currently own a 1935 Plymouth would live another old classic vehicle to add to my fleet of toys.

 

[40Flipper]

cool. it is a long distance though. call me when you get back from your travels!

 

[SouthBostonFJ40]

Why let 3,000 miles and $1,800 in shipping get in the way? Make it happen!

 

[copper204]

Just got home. Will be here for two days. Then driving through 4 states ending up in Seattle for two weeks. Then ..... Could spend two days towing a FJ40 to Omaha Nebraska....lol ever been there before.....ha ha.

 

[copper204]

Called left a message and a PM...LOL

 

[copper204]

Oh well have tried a few phone calls.. Now i am on vacation again for two weeks heading north..

 

[40Flipper]

^^^^^Copper and I have spoken a couple times, just haven't been on MUD to update stuff. I think the distance would be the killer on a trade deal. 4000 miles is a bit much to risk disappointment on either side on a trade I think.

Still searching. Would love an FJ55 or a 40. Partial trades considered or mine plus cash.
