May as well make it official and add it here. Project Homework. 72 FJ55 Pretty stock. A few parts have been added over the years… Belleview Warn winch Hone Overdrive Rochester 2 Jet carb Needs a lot of love but we’ll get her there.

One of the best restomod 55’s I’ve seen man. Someone is going to be super happy. GLWTS

That’s my favorite place on earth to wheel and poke around. Greta pics guys, glad it was such a nice trip.

Dang that rig looks good!

You can stud weld and pull them with a slide hammer and get them somewhat straight or you can keep the patina. Sadly, it doesn't look like you will get to do both. I assume they are all rusting from the inside out. Personally, I'd leave it and...

Just looking to see if anyone needs some of these. In the past, when the 55 rockers were rusted, I had a method to repair them. I would cut access holes in the rocker, sandblast them and then seal with a POR15 type product. My feeling is, with...

Try the painless dent removal techniques like the glued-on studs that you pull with either a slide hammer or a bridge. I think @Gordobe used one of these to pull a dent recently with good results.

I bought some aftermarket ones back when building mine. I'll try to look them up.

The orange/red is AUS (ROW?) spec, super rare here as you have seen by the price

Got 1 of each in my shed 😉

And a Conehead 🤣🤣🤣

I’ll shoot you a PM Martin thanks!

YOU LIKE 😮😳 YOU WANT 😳😮😏😲😉 COME GIT IT 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤔🧐😳😮😏😲😉 JUST KIDDIN. LET ME KNOW 😉

So I have two different tail light lenses. Both say Toyota. One is red/orange the other is all orange. Which on is correct for a ‘72. I hopped on eBay for a Quick Look and nearly fell over, guys are asking $500+ for a set of OEM. I’m guessing...

Just found this thread. Congrats Drew, what a find! I vote keeping it stock. But you know me, I ❤ drum brakes and no synchro 1st. ;) I bet I have a proper '72ish Aisin carb you could rebuild with the class and swap on.

Thanks Martin! I may take you up on that.

I was looking at it thinking that man is a genius...

I like the selection of jets right on the carb. Going up in elevation, let me pull over and rejet.

Can anyone I.D. This carb? Says GM Made in the USA. Rochester 2 JET?

Putting the clips on is a family secret, but it can be done. Just showing you what you ask for in your post good luck

I had the pressure washer out for cleaning the deck and decided to clamp the belts to a board and wash them down. Soooooo much gunk came out it was awesome. Here’s a half way shot. Top has been blasted at 3500psi the bottom is direct out of the...

Got a little time to play with the pig today. Last eeek I pulled out the front and mid floor mats and started to scrub the interior. On the whole rig there’s are only three pea sized holes of rust on the floor. I am a happy man. To get the mats...

@Half Wacked aka Split Pea Can you post a pic from the side please? I want to see how the 33’s sit in the rear wheel well. Do they tuck inside under articulation?

GM Rally Wheels 15x8, BFG ko2s 33x10.50, On stock springs, Some work needs to be be done on the wheels, Center hole needs about 1/8 inch cut bigger and clips, only rubs on front a little when backing out drive way and turning,

If I was spending your money… #1 gets my vote. It would look classic and tough at the same time. Pure utilitarian.
