Shame to waste a functioning PTO where it won’t be used, but it sure does look proper. Just bring that Milwaukee impact wrench along, and voila! Working winch.

east side I possessed 10 pre-'65 trucks including FJ25's and 45's at one point in time, along with a handful of others. I am down to an HDJ80 currently, it was fun..................................

auto tranny? if it's a manual, put it in 3rd gear and load it up. if noise changes it could be wrist pin(s). doesn't sound like a bearing knock to me. maybe a cracked for loose flex plate. someone else mentioned belts, could be a loose/bad...

^^ ^^ Pull plug wires. Report back.

Looks great !

Then not the t/o bearing, probably a rod bearing, if the noise increases with rpm its a rod bearing( pretty common on 2f’s) pull plug wires!!!

It would go away when pushing clutch in?

Old school method, pull one plug wire at a time while running, if the noise goes away, you know what cylinder its on( removing spark takes the load off the rod bearing)

Today’s update, snows melting real fast, should be punched through in 2 weeks.

Off to get the pallet!!

I touched up the light spots in the bed. I will eventually do some type of bedliner on the floor. Next I will touch up the frame that caught some blue over spray. Then it's suspension, axles, and brakes. Going all disc this time.

Looking for a pass barn door, doesnt have to be mint!

Sean, I cant even sell my 65, for $8500?

1031, unfortunately isn't a pursuit. I'm just trying to live. the difficulty comes at the hands of 20+ years of chasing down leads and parts (mostly pre-flea bay etc.) only to sell my fortunes mostly to a new generation of enthusiasts who...

thank you guys my captivation with early Land Cruiser has proven difficult to walk away from.................................

Thanks for sharing those! I don't think I've seen them. So cool!!

Some pole barn pics around 2017!

Great truck, great history, great seller!!! Chased this truck for 20 years!! Glad it went to Seth who did it justice! Super survivor worth every penny!!! Glws bro!!

Finally selling my survivor 1967 FJ45 from central California. It's undergone a "sympathetic" restoration, with particular care and attention to both originality and patina. If you've ever worked on patina trucks, you know how difficult it is to...

Cheers! Lookin good JACK!!😬

It's blue. Need to respray the interior of the bed. I could not reach and was getting dry spray. I also got tired if sanding, so you can see some imperfections in the paint. Good enough for a truck that is destined for the trail. Also, the...

@scoobiedubes - C’mon Nathan… this will be a perfect match you LV!!!! There are a few key facts that you could tell your wife: 1. It’s completely done… no bad restoration shops to deal with and 2. It’s a BARGAIN…there’s no way you could...

@67azcruizr - just wanted to say this is rolling artwork. An absolutely beautiful build. Someone’s going to get a beautiful machine.

Glws Sean, worth every penny, cant think of a better person to buy from! This should sell quick!! A shorty fixed top that you can actually fit in due to the stretch!!

Yes a 62! I can't take any credit for the build...that was all JP @ClemsonCruiser and the PO. It is awesome tho!
