BrewNo 40 - 1974 FJ40 Build (Resto-Mod) (1 Viewer)

[SchobTime]

It has been over 2 years since I started the BrewNo 40 build, probably a good time to start the actual build thread .. First up acquisition. Picked it up on eBay and had it shipped to my father's house outside of Yuma. From there, I towed it back to Northern VA with my 200 Series (~2500 miles)

Next up CLR scrub to remove surface rust (before, after CLR bath and side shot)

Wheels and tire selection was next .. Went with ProComp MT2s 33x12.5x15 and steel bead locks

PO said it was a Peterbilt color.

Added some LED headlights .. I was a little worried they would look cheesy but I am digging the look and increased visibility
