Status update!! She’s rusty… I’ve seen worse though! Body off the frame.

Post has been updated!! Parting every piece out is unfortunately a little bit more time consuming then the amount of time I have. For that reason, I am not parting each piece out. See above for what is included on the deal. Thanks!!

Located in southeast South Dakota. 1973 Toyota FJ40 F155 motor and 3-speed transmission. Motor is missing the oil pan. Operational condition is UNKNOWN. Transfer case NOT included. Would like to sell as a package, but will consider separating. Drop me a message and an offer! I haven’t shipped...

Here‘s where my build is at right now.

Man, that’s incredibly clean. Wish mine was in that great of condition!! Great looking rig.

Hello! Current build is a 73’ FJ40. Has a F155 motor and 3-speed transmission. Plan is to drop in a crate SBC350 with a TH350. Does anyone know what transfer case I need? I plan on pulling this motor/transmission/transfer case and selling it. Reason behind not keeping it, is it has been sitting...

I appreciate your reply @Living in the Past ! Pretty sure this one hasn’t been turned over since the late 80‘s. Sounds like you have a potentially super clean 40! AZ, out of the elements for that long? Let’s see a picture!! Haha.

Hey @Redgrrr thank you for your reply! I’m located in Sioux Falls. Intending on doing a SBC350 TH350 drivetrain for this one. What’s the price you have on that setup? Just curious. Is it rebuilt? Thanks again.

Hey @65swb45 thank you for your reply! Any idea what dollar amount is a good starting point for motor/trans and transfer case? That’s assuming I don’t think I can use the transfer case for my SBC 350 with a TH350 transmission set up I plan on doing. Thanks again!

Hello! Thanks for checking out this post. Currently tearing apart a 1973 FJ40. It’s been sitting for what we know to be 30+ years. F155 motor, 3-speed manual transmission. Now here’s the big kicker. The oil pan is non-existent. For an unknown reason, I have no idea why. Can someone somehow use...

Thank you @cbmontgo ! Going to do our best to keep the original radio.

Status update! Removed: fenders, hood, windshield, grill, steering column, gas tank, dash controls, radio, speedometer, pedals, heating system front/rear, and front wiring harness (and brake booster, not shown in picture).

Got it!! thank you for everyone’s help! @3_puppies that helped knowing that a ton. Wiring harness removed!!

A fair distance into the disassembly process and the dash buttons/switches have brought the project to a stand still. Aside from this, so far I haven’t had to google anything surprisingly. This is my first car restoration project. I‘ve researched multiple forums that say there is some sort of a...

Status update! Still in the disassembly stage. Removed rear doors and the top today! Honestly, I do not think that top was ever removed. With prying it and enough elbow grease (& WD40), I was able to wiggle the side panels off. This gave a better view of all the rust spots that need to be...
