BUY ME OR TRADE 1972 FJ55 Project w/ 4BD2T and 700r4 --$4.7k OBO--
Pig is currently located in Visalia south of Fresno, CA. Not interested in any projects, I'm remodeling a house and don't have time or desire to add to the list of things I need to do. This Pig still has a ways to go before it's road ready but it has a lot of potential.
There is more information and older photos on the build thread: The first post gives all the details on the truck.

The plan was an Isuzu diesel powered automatic Pig with a wider and taller stance. The engine is in place along with the axles, however there are issues. Either the engine or the front axle is in the wrong location because the front driveshaft will hit the oil pan. Estimate having to move the axle about 4" to resolve this problem
The photos make it look like it has a lot of rust which it does but most of it is surface rust. The lower 1/3 of each fender need replacing. The right front floorboard may need some work, it's been a long time since I saw the truck but I remember it being solid. The rust on the frame is all surface only. Tailgate has a couple of dents, some repaired some not but overall it's still solid.
This is what this Pig currently has on it or in it. I'm sure there are other parts in there but this is the big stuff that I know of for sure.
