A few years ago I bought Felix's FJ40. I always wanted one since I was like 12 years old and remember seeing those Ambulance doors on one in Old Town. Felix was a great guy to deal with, took care to let me know all the idiosyncrasies and was a huge asset as to all sorts of cruiser information...
I've lusted after 60s for a bit and then stumbled on this in local CL..

If it is a real 5 speed and not a misunderstanding then that's rad.
!!Check out those rims!!
Got the truck in the garage to address the current header issue- really loud probably due to the cracking...
Took pictures despite the fact there are only 4 vacuum lines to mess up.
Pulled intake, carb, and header..
Have some messed up linkage on the carb- perhaps due to a bad engine mount...
Walking through del ray today and saw a 55 and had to look at it-sign told me for sale so I wanted to forward this to you guys.
Think the dude said 74 with a ford v8, bigger aluminum radiator, originally tranny. Project that owner didnt have time for. Big old winch. Ya know.
I have no...
Thanks or the heads up on the ends. Got it installed and all is well. Going to crawl under there and triple check all my stuff later this evening.
Truly appreciate all the help and insight from everyone!
Would have been much more difficult without the site and CLCC.
Got with Tom today. He sent me home with parts and know how..
Took the shaft apart. Wirewheeled and rustoleum flat black.
Tomorrow going to try and get it back together. Will let you know
Here it is lubed painted and ready to go!
Grenaded a u joint and lost my driveshaft on the 75 fj40. 4 speed stock length. Trying other methods and searched but wanted to swallow my pride a put a feeler out to the club.
Here are pics of what I did. Need a new diff flange I guess.. F**k.
My dad ran into the dude with this 40 a few weeks ago on base (ft belvoir). Military guy. I have some other pictures my dad texted me I'll try to find em. It's clean evidentially (compared to my 40 on DD status).
I'd check this 60 out if I hadn't just dumped all my money into a 40... Take cash cut off a couple hundred and call it a cruiser!

Scratch that. I stumbled into a white 75 with Aussie lockers, disc brakes, and whatnot here in Alexandria... Pretty much exactly what I wanted. Thanks guys I wouldn't have found it if not for here.
