1968 Fj 40

So here is the story...this FJ40 was abandoned on a lady's property in the mountains of Colorado several years ago. The lady called JC (THANKS motoloco!!) and offered it to him for free. He generously offered it to the Rising Sun Club. I went with a few of our members and hauled it out of the snow and to my house. A few parts were taken by our members, and now we have decided to part it out. ALL proceeds will be donated to one of our Land Use organizations. I would love to sell this 40 in one piece, it is still very close to being a running, driving 40. But I have NO title.

The bad...the owner (original since 1973 according to the records found in the truck, including registrations) had some....shall we say...mental issues. He basically spent the last 30 years trying to make the truck more "aerodynamic". So it has some "tweaks". Some rust and VERY interesting patch jobs. Awesome hood scoop on the hood. V8 conversion, but has newer tranny and tcase...74 or 75 according to his records.

The good...pretty complete. This would actually be a great start for a rock crawler or plow truck...or even a frame-up restoration if you wanted to bond out a title. Would definitely consider selling it outright. I don't have a parts list yet, have not started the tear down process. Feel free to email me for details or PM me here or Rising Sun. Thanks!

That's a weird one!

Just out of curiousity, how does one bond out a title?

R and L Defroster Guides needed.

looking to buy the defroster guides that mount on the windshield frame just behind the glass. I have a 1966 and mine are missing. The kind I have are secured with three screws not the 5 on later models. Can you supply a price for these?

No F here, although I have an extra carb, let me see what it is. I think he upgraded to a 4 speed, I will find out this weekend.

missing the original, the replacement is also broken. I bought a brand new one fore my 73 at CCOT for $40 or so...well worth it.

I am interested in the parking brake handle, assembly and cable. I have just rebuilt my brake drum, but don't have any of the other essentials...

Not sure if you'd be willing to ship to 97404

Thanks

How about the upper dash? Any chance it is still in one piece?
