I have a '65fj40 with a chevyv8 auto trans. While cruising the backroads today I saw a fj40 sitting behind a house. I turned around for a closer look, and it is a 1969 fj40, weeds growin all around it that the bushhog missed. I knocked on the door of the closest house and found the owner. He immediately started inspecting my cruiser and said he couldn't believe it was a '65. Anyway he said his '69fj40 was all there down to the 3spd. in the tree, and the winch on front driven by the pto. It has the original 2f engine that ran when he parked it, fifteen years ago. Parked it because his wife divorced him, and he lost his buisness. It has 120K miles on it, with a hard top hard doors, and plenty of rust. He said $1,000 would buy it. My question is will the diffs, transmission, and transfer case still be alright, and how much trouble would it be to get the engine running? All the wheels are still on, but the tires are all flat and dryrotted. Maybe I should offer him $500 cash???????Thanks KYH
