SILVER Star
I kept this under wraps last couple of years basically out of embarrassment of becoming like many of you other degenerates with too many cruisers kidding of course, so glad we all have each other...
I bought John aka @Living in the Past pair of 1960 FJ25's shortly after I bought the FJ28 "Project Lara" truck a couple of years ago. Thought process at the time was that if I needed 20 series parts this was my best bet vs the painful search for individual parts. However, both trucks are so complete I haven't been able to bring myself to take a single part out of either of them so they've just been sitting. Over time I've also been able to secure most everything I think I need for the 28, and with that project taking the incredibly slow path to restoration I decided last week to get started getting these two back on the road, one at a time. Finally got a better garage space which makes all the difference. My kids are getting a little bigger (4 and 7 now) and like to help daddy in the garage too, so this will likely be a slow process but thankfully neither of the trucks needs the insane amount of body work the 28 needs so I'll just work on them as I have time over the next few years. Also have a retired friend that likes to stay busy and wants to help me out.
Photos from when I picked them up from John a couple years back before putting them in storage.
