I second the absolutely!
I would grab a six pack along with a power washer and go to work.
There looks like a lot of potential in that bad boy. Would love to see the cleaned up version.

Heck yea. From the pics doesn’t look too terrible. Depending on price they are all worth buying.

Definitely worth some looking into.
Old pictures?

@77CJ5 where do you find all these random cruiser pics scouring the web?

 

[seapotato]

Looks a bit different now.

Just beautiful!
Do dmensions (wheelbase etc) remain the same?
Some more pics of the bed?

Haha, thanks but, not really ...

Ditto for the wheelbase It's stretched a fair bit.

100% mongrel but it's fun.

I have a long winded meandering build thread for it somewhere, but this is a pic from the ass end as I was finishing building the box sides/tailgate.

My intentionally crappy paintjob has started to get it's own rusty patina now, so if I had a more recent pic, I guess it'd almost fit this thread.

It seems that you used 70-Series bed parts, great!
It does have character, from every angle!

I don't see how the FJ40 pictured transitioned to the pickup. pictured

Front directionals changed from US to offshore style?

Bezel converted from rounded to square corners?

Must be more to this story?

Well, being stuck at home during a pandemic with a shed full of parts may have had something to do with it haha


of all the changes you pick up on the bezel and turn signals?

Yeah, it has a little character, that's half the fun. Actually made the bed from scratch, with a brake and shop press.

Here's that longwinded build thread I mentioned, just so I don't clog up this patina thread with BSing... (build thread has a lot of BSing. ) CW 2.0 - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/cw-2-0.1073735/
