1974, traded a 2014 Honda crf 250l for it. I've owned 3 Toyota pick ups, but this is my first cruiser. Had a friend in high school who had one and I've been in love ever since (graduated 2000 in South Dakota )
Fine swine, wish it were mine!
Nice piggie

The roof drip rail is rusted through, took it to a metal fab guy and he said it wasn't worth fixing. Wouldn't take the job on. I'm sure there is a thread on here somewhere about that. I'm new to this site, not very computer savvy. But I'm looking forward to this new project

Best option is (A) learn to do the work your self and have fun learning along the way or (B) Just drive it the way it is on the weekends, take it shed horn hunting with the Fam and the German shepherd in the back and have fun along the way.

Hey guys.. I might be jumping the gun a bit here but I've got my eye on a tidy 79 FJ55 that I'm hoping to inspect and subsequently take home this coming weekend. It's been a few weekends since I got the green light from the minister of finance so my brain has been in overdrive and my eyes are...

Somewhere on here I read about a guy that had taken the top from a Ford Econoline van, cut out some of the center for width and used it... I'll look for it, but think it was out of New Mexico...
Here it is, or part of it ECONOLINE Roof (<-- click on link)

Congratulations on a real nice 55! And to trade a motorcycle for it, wow! This forum will be a tremendous resource for you. It's funny how early experiences with vehicles really stick with us. Cheers
