Been a Cruiser nut for decades but never actually opened an account so...I’ll throw up some current builds going on now in my collection.

“Yellow Monster” is a 1963 fj45 body paired on a 1974 fj55 boxed frame. It has a V-8, Atlas twin stick, air lockers front/rear and an air bagged suspension. Bed is notched for extended raise/lower air ride and supplemented with performance shocks. Suspension is linked and overbuilt with 1 ton axles and a lot of steel reinforcement. Cruiser is sitting on 39.5” tires on beadlock wheels.

She is about 90% finished...enjoy!

Amazing build! Are your rear slider windows original? How you working in the hood clamps with the shortened apron height?
 
Yes, rear glass is original. Apron clamps being removed and moved up now to work. The shop was doing test fit here to see how much they needed to be corrected.
