Build 1965 Seminole Red FJ45 SWB

[pjohnson]

I don’t think you want to drive this truck around with a set of one-ton springs in the back for the majority of its use.

Go Airbags, baby! A little extra lift when you need it

Isn't this Henry @HENDOG 's old truck? I always loved that thing. Gotta love the brass tag trucks!

And before Henry owned it, it belonged to @rockcod.
2010 FJ45 Run. Fun times when the kids were younger!



Beautiful truck! Fun to watch the rebuild of the rebuild!

That’s my favorite part of the OG thread for sure.

@wngrog
where did you get the 'fj40 color galleries poster' and the 5 speed shift diag for the glovebox?

 

[wngrog]

Diagram City Racer and the color diagram is copied from the original locked thread.

Tire carrier on the bumper was a good idea.

Yeah, nothing like blocking your field of vision.

Yep. That’s always my first concern when building a Land Cruiser.

Man. Wonder if I can see in my blind spots……

The tire carrier??

After Nolan @wngrog puts in the racing motor it won’t matter what’s behind Seminole Red anyhow

 

[wngrog]

Damn. Two weeks this thing has been in the back-burner shop.

I just got back from PowderKeg and cool things are happening with the parts Brandon from Classic Cruisers sent me.

Also the radiator just shipped. Piles of parts everywhere…..when the Cop +P hits it will all be here ready to reassemble. Word from HQ today said the block is close. Head is in house.

@lcwizard has parts in house too so I should be able to get the suspension done next week.

Powder Keg is doing the dissection of the early heater box for restoration.

This vent setup is a thing of beauty

Took out AC to put an old heater box in? John, you still live in Florida, right?

I got confused (and sweaty) too.

 

[wngrog]

80s and 100s are good for AC. He’s got both.

Cleaning up the cockpit a bit. Just too cool of a truck to have all that going on in it.

This is not a summer time truck.

 

[navydivedoc]

This is not a summer time truck.

To this cold adapted New Englander, every day in Florida is an AC day!

I feel like every day in New England would require a jacket and a heater.
