No rust on the gutter. The top was unbolted, and the upper door support bolt was not attached to the windshield frame in that photo so the support was hanging down in the front.

The 58 will. My plan is to put a new Cummins in the hardtop one and leave the patina paint.

Not that I know of. I purchased it in Kentucky. The white hardtop came from Oregon.
Where in Indiana are you located?
I've seen these cruisers in person & the white hardtop patina is EPIC!
I wish I didn't already have projects or I would buy that blue 71 -- she's a beaut!

That's what I may end up doing with my 67. I just bought a F145 to replace the Chevy 350... but I'd rather have the new 2.8 Cummins diesel for reliability . I'm also leaving the patina on mine and restoring the chaisis...mine is going to be a top , doors off and windshield down most of the time driver.
reliability and plastic oil pan seem to be at odds......id personally hold off on that Cummins until they get some miles on em to see if Cummins has corrected the earlier iterations of these engines issues.
imho- a 1hz or 13bt will be alot cheaper and more reliable. these engines arent underpowered enough in a 40series to warrant the added power or double the expense of the cummins 2.8. for the larger cruisers like 55/60/80s where these lc diesels are a bit gutless.....the hopium is high that the 2.8 can come to the rescue.
but at this point its going to take 15k-30k worth of miles on the r2.8 at a minimum to see where the cookie crumbles. this could take a few years as installs are all starting now. So earliest id feel comfortable on these would be late 2019-early 2020. Even a low mile 1hdt would be alot cheaper route to go than the $11k r2.8 with tranny adapter.

im looking for one to turn into an fzj44. And given the corner and rear sill needing a fixing anyway- this might be a good candidate. lemme see if i can scare up a fj25 parts vehicle to pick up out here so u can trailer this out here and do a swaparoo....

Keep me posted. I am not sure about trailering out there and back though. I would probably rather pay someone. I want to start to clear some of my projects out of the way. This truck is very clean compared to most projects.

I could deliver it to his house for you if that helps
