As discussed, I am starting a thread so we can get this thing back out of the pig pen.
Bought this truck in 2015 from Zack Penny based on word of mouth from Mike Blake.
Truck was built and had some electric bugs to work out. As a matter of fact, it blew a fuse and died on my test drive at BP.
Next test drive, the power steering locked up. I test drove it for a few weeks or months. Can't remember exactly how long, but actually wheeled it at Stoney Lonesome at the first ever 70 series meet up. There was no going back at that point.
So, I stubbornly persisted with opening the wallet for a beautiful Dec 1970 FJ55 that was making my head spin.
Based on internets research, these are the specs I have been able to gather:

2004 Tundra TRD Supercharged 4.7L V8
