yup, I was in Denver for about 2 months this past spring.. The 6A turbo FJ40 was in storage there for almost 3 years! I finally towed it back to Tahoe in October.

It actually left for a new home yesterday morning... Vintage Offroad in Flagstaff.

I guess I'm playing catch-up with my profile info here on Mud ...I'm ready to return to my toyotanerd ways...
 
cruiser_guy, your 55 project is so sweet... you really went for it, dang! Hey your links for sourcing the various things like weatherstripping and noise dampening is super helpful, thank you!! what an great truck youve got there
 
Any comments on turboing a 6.2?
(I'm tempted to go the K5 chassis swap route for now.. I would love to have this sthing on the road this summer, and other Toyota donor ideas seem far-fetched for my budget and timeline)
 
From the diesel forum: The first of the side-by-side swap pictures

Two donors, let's see what this buggy turns out like...
P5270019.jpg

This is the '76...
*Fully functional, well kept running gear - Nice Chevy 350(maybe crate), Turbo400 auto, Toy transfer, Edelbrock, 2.5" dual exhaust, 4core rad, disc, etc... stoked!!
*Really clean trim
*Full interior and electrical, some usable, some for template or restoration
P5270020.jpg

This is the '70...
*this body will be about all that's used, and the rest I'll be cleaning up, and inspecting to pass on to those who need it

*I expect to have:
a full set of NICE doors
gate
windshield
grill & bezels
a full near-perfect stock rolling chassis
really nice '70 hood
various trim between both years
all other glass
miscellaneous OEM pig drive components(everything but the complete motor)
and the '76 body(which isnt actually at all bad-it's currently housing a running drivetrain after all) that could go off on the '70 chassis

Woohoo, here we go!

Tahoe CA - Some Nice Pig Parts, Comin Up

As I'm posting some parts up, I am really open to input from those in the know... I'll be guessing, when it comes to an asking price for some of this stuff, but I imagine some pig owners might not mind giving an honest heads-up if I'm too high.

Also, I plan to give everything I pull off a fairly good cleaning to make sure of the 'real' quality that can be missed when hiding under a convincing layer of paint, and of course a testing to mechanical or electrical parts. Any parts susceptible to surface rust, I'll hit with a lite rustolium layer while they're waiting to ship off.
