1/2 tub (1 Viewer)

[Engineer8000]

I'm considering a steel 1/2 tub purchase vs rebuilding the rotted rear of my 73 fj40. It needs the rear sill and both rear fenders. Plus it doesn't have the provision for a roll bar. I'm just afraid it will start rusting away again in a couple years and I hate body work. The front and floor are in pretty good shape. I drive my truck almost daily so it gets wet. Has anyone had good luck with a particular vendor?

I hear Cool Cruisers Of Texas makes good parts, probably pricey though.

I’m very happy with my Aqualu 3/4 tub. Stout is a good way to put it. It’s not completely OE in looks, but I have enough stuff in the back not to care. Install was pretty straight forward.
