You realize this makes absolutely no sense when anyone and their brother can buy a brand new one for around $30 right ?

Fixed top 45 beds are actually about 3 inches longer!!

Tbis is pretty hilarious🤣

Things are moving monday the tub was installed on the frame, starting to look like a real truck.

Bring it on…

Or a complete 67 40 With a grab bar!!🤣

Hmmmmm….current inventory =12 Shipping fee =$15.00 12x$325.00=$3,900.00 That’s 1/2 of a Caribbean Cruise.

Yeah, but the shipping is free !!

The last year these were used was 1967, so demand is not that high, last one I sold for $75! The american way is to help others with a reasonable price!

I really think you're out of the ballpark with your price. I currently have an ad selling these for $80 and somebody can buff and paint their own . That price would even be too steep a price for eBay. Check around on ih8mud for what these have...

Crazy price!! Guess they will have a few in stock for a decade!!🤪

It's done! Hard to believe that after nine long years, $350k, three girlfriends, two friendships and my hairline - the dream has been recognised! Eggs were cracked during the making of this omelette. To celebrate this outback road movie we're...

Totally missed this thread Mark! Wow! Another fun project! I have yet to own a 70 series, but have come close a few fimes! Nice work!

This will definitely be my favorite 45 build, and not too far away to come test drive that sweet german engineering!!😁

Whitey I know it went out of control I guess i will be afraid to drive the dam thing but the 606 i am putting in it will be the best part it has air over water turbo air cooling. I am sure you will appreciate the install as you are very familiar...

Wow! Skip! Now the fun really begins adding all the jewelry! Not sure what your going to do with the truck? Maybe put it in a temperature controlled glass case in your living room🤣

I posed the question of whether anyone had seen a repository of information on OE hardware manufacturers and approximate manufacturing timelines. Not much response. But while the majority of folks are content to reassemble their projects with...

5 years ago🤣

I am soooooo tempted to buy this back. Somebody please beat me too it. I don’t have space and it will get me divorced :D You did an amazing job cleaning it up and preserving the patina @lherna 😎

Reminds me of my old 65! Definitely should have never sold it! A couple years ago, this would sell in 10 minutes! The market has definitely slowed down..someone will jump soon!

First update…some wiring had some scuffed wires which got sliced open so this is the temporary fix until the oem factory colored wires arrive Gotta love cleaning other people’s work! Hhahahah

Anyone that buys and installs on an FJ40 should be shot.

Chefs 45 got a real shake down this past week. Here she is on Black Bear going down to Telluride.

Early hood spears, getting hard to find, hopefully someone can restore these! One has 2 1/3 studs, other has no studs! $25 and $45 for the better one! Plus $15 shipping!
