1972 FJ40 Land Cruiser questions - newb

I know that truck and it sold for considerably less a couple of years ago I believe it was worked on at a shop in Vermont many moons ago.

Rear quarters around the tail lights are not correct, it's been reworked.

This vehicle looks very similar to one I considered that was in Colorado two years ago. The front seats are identical. Check the floor in back, if it's flat it's the same vehicle and has a aftermarket tub in back. Ed

Ed, flat in the back... definitely not stock.

Roger- thanks. You remember what work was done?

Ok - still considering offering no more than $12,500 for this FJ... I went back to check on the amount of Bondo... it’s not that bad. Found a number stamp on the left (driver side) close to the fire wall/under the brake fluid reservoir- engine block (pic attach) 11411 60031 34 anyone have any insights on what this number does for me? And the the F 412761 aligns w/ the 1972 model build in November- any other insights? Going back to check the chassis # when I can.. trying to make sure they (VIN/engine/chassis #s) all point to the same build/vehicle...

Take a magnet to the body to find all the Bondo. Look under the dash at the wiring for spaghetti.

@SteveH is right, you're kind stuck unless you're willing to pay shipping for a vehicle in the states.

bondo wasn’t that bad.. under dash wires were ok too

I found the 11411 number on the engine block (left side).. and the F412xxx tag on the right side of the engine. The F 412 number corresponds w/ the 1972 build (November?) what’s the other number telling me?
