I've got a 67 FJ40 that I got from original owners son. It's a black plate CA rig. All options including Belleview Winch, tow bar, factory soft top and bows. It'd got a hard top on it now. He put a V8 in it back in 1974. Driving the mountain roads of Tahoe pushed him to the V8. Was planning on a mechanical resto and leaving the Patina.... I have rebuilt axles with disc brakes, 2-1/2" lift springs for it. It even has a 60's old school cooler that comes with it. My plan was to wire wheel the frame and paint satin black. The motor I was told had 5k on the rebuild.
I'll post some pictures this weekend. I need to finish the spring axles swap. Any interest? I'm adding new 33x10.50R15 BFG's and Welded Steelies and hubcaps. I've also got a set a rear jump seats going with. I'll also get the brakes setup with a new Geo Metro booster.master setup the clear firewall spar. I'm going to go ahead and put on the Stainless exhaust from headers back also......Stay tuned.. thinking around $9500
I'll post pictures as soon as this is done.

Got axles and put them under the 40. Waiting on bushings and I'll put the springs on.

Please post plenty of pics once get it back together. I'm thinking of going with black rims with no hub cap and 33" on my truck.
 
Got springs on and new brake booster/spacer. Still need 1 ubolt and hook up steering to finish suspension and plumbing and bleed brakes... Replaced all oils and drive !! I'll post more pics as I finish. Ride height in the rear is good...

Well I drove it this weekend. First thing that happened was a water leak from cap. Suspected thermo not opening and bad cap, so went and got new cap, belts, thermostat and gasket.... Tried again and no leaks so far. Only had time for a couple miles. Gas run and beach run.... I like it. Forgot about trans noise on these old girls. Got a bunch of compliments in just a couple miles..

Been driving it the last couple days and it's fun. The speedo cable was making a racket so I disconnected it. Get lots of compliments.... I'll post a video if I can figure it out..
 
I'm throwing in with the sale an SM465 4speed mated to a Toyota transfer case that I had that could be put in this rig or sold for $$. Also some KBS frame paint to clean up frame. I planned on selling trans separately, but it would bolt up to motor and be a good addition.
