Some more pictures

I am selling my 1970 Toyota FJ40. Asking for 6K. I got this truck awhile back with plans to restore it but I have lost interest and need to find a good home for it. This truck spent most of its life in New Mexico thus has very little rust. What you see in the pictures is just light surface...

Well that didn't take much work to get it on the road. The break and clutch reservoir were bone dry and the pedals were dead. I just bleed the system and both came back to life. So far no leaks. Drained the gas and replaced the fuel filter. Threw in a new battery and put air in the tires...

Thanks for the offer ginmtb. I will have to think on that. I'm thinking its worth much more than that but maybe my research will prove me wrong. Body is in good shape compared to many of the FJ restore trucks I have seen for sale. Thing could be driving if I would get off my lazy butt and...

After a few months of not doing anything with this i finally got it started. It was just a bad ground. Motor fired right up after one turn of the key. Seems to idle smooth. Excited about that. However im not sure i really want to get into this thing. Thinking i want to sell it. I don't have...

I agree on the DOA equipment. I have ground coming off the battery and the positive terminal goes right to starter. No fusible link. I will check for 12V at the fuse box when I get home. I will also test the starter to make sure its not bad.

could that be for a newer fj40? I have a 1970. My ignition switch is in the dash. All the connections are just on the back of the switch. no cable or anything

I dont see that anywhere on the truck. Where is that coming off from? The starter? The key'd ignition switch?

Thanks Kerlpunk. the battery and starter are both brand new. I did use my multi meter to see that 12v was going to the starter but I did not check the ignition or coil wire. I can do that. I have a feeling something is not right at the ignition switch as the truck gets no power at all. No...

I put the new battery and starter in and was going to try and turn it over but when turn the key i get nothing. No power to anything at all. No lights, no crank from the starter. Nothing. I checked to make sure the starter had power going to it and it does. Took a look at the fuses and they...

Well I pulled the plugs, put a few drops of Marvel Mystery oil in each hole and turned the engine over by hand. It was not hard at all to turn it over. I could get it turning by just spinning the radiator fan. I was sure to check the belt was not just slipping. So that made me feel pretty good...

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome. I bought this truck from a co-worker who was very kind. He was excited to see it go to a good home. The truck is a 1970. Tonight I plan on pulling the plugs and turning it over by hand. The oil was changed 5 years ago when the former owner put on a new oil...

I'm looking to do more of a tear down, fix/clean up what I can save, replace things that too far gone. but before I go into full on tear down mode I wanted to spend a little time at get the engine running. The guy who sold it to me said its something electrical. He thinks the starter or solenoid...

here are some pictures of what I got! 1 by chriscam2 posted Nov 2, 2015 at 1:26 PM 2 by chriscam2 posted Nov 2, 2015 at 1:26 PM 3 by chriscam2 posted Nov 2, 2015 at 1:26 PM 4 by chriscam2 posted Nov 2, 2015 at 1:26 PM 5 by chriscam2 posted Nov 2, 2015 at 1:26 PM
