Unfortunately it isnt my truck. It belongs to a customer of mine who will be driving it all over the country, so Im sure if you attend any events next year "08" you will probably see it. It will be finished by the end of January.

The truck:
started life as a 73? (I will double check tomorrow) with a F, 3 speed combo. When the truck was brought to us it had been bought from a dealor who bought it from the origonal owner. 99% rust free. I had to make a small patch for both ft floorboards but that was it.

The customer said that he "wants it to drive like a modern vehicle" so....

Now: Non US 3F carbed. H55, split case

Ft axle; stock housing, 4.11, ARB, FJ62 disks w/ IFS calipers, OME 2 1/2" FJ40 springs,

Rear axle; FJ40 Full Float, 4.11, ARB, FJ62 drums w/ parking brake, Alcan custom leafs to match ft

FJ60 Power Steering w/ custom 4X4 Labs links
FJ60 A/C and heater box installed under dash

Interior; Full custom to include Procar Ft seats, recover back bench to match, headliner, carpet, door panels, Tuffy, Repaint all exposed metal to match, ALL new rubber (doors, glass), Dynamat everything

I didnt bring my camera home so some old photos will have to do till tomorrow.

#1 : Rear axle
#2 : PS box
#3 : Interior fabric

The 3FE/H55F is a very nice drivetrain. If I were not a diesel guy, that would be my drivetrain of choice in a 55. The 3FE really comes alive when it has a manual tranny behind it. Damned A440 gives the 3FE a bad reputation.
 
Wow, really nice Pig!!
