I've got a 72 FJ40 for sale- asking $4800. Hardtop incl. It runs/drives well, needs a very small amount of work: Right turn signal, could use paint but maybe not, needs gas cap. Wipers need connection checked, needs front grill, needs jump seats, speedo cable, rear hatch latches just need to be...

I've got an awesome 1972 FJ40 for sale that runs, drives, stops, handles well. I've lost the time I was going to put into making it a perfect cruiser so, sadly it must go. It's got a pretty good hard top/doors, tub is excellent, only minor surface rust on the inside cab floor. Has a Chevy 350...

Hey everyone- just got my first Cruiser! :D I have a question on Edelbrock 350 plugs- are they all the same? What kind should I get? I'm not sure on the block number yet but I'll get that asap. Also, I'm gonna tune the whole thing up this weekend but I was worried about the large plume of...

OK cool. I'll try that. I'm just worried about theft where I am. Thanks.

Hey- What parts do I need and how do I go about installing a kill switch on a 40? Thanks!
