1973 FJ40, V-8 Chevy, Toyota 4 speed "SOLD"

Selling an October 72 (73) FJ40. This was built in 96 and has around 10K on the motor and tires. It has a 305 small block Chevy motor with flat top pistons 9.5:1 compression, mild rv cam, quadrajet, HEI ignition. It has a bellhousing adapter to a 78 Landcruiser 4spd trans and transfer. Axles are stock 73 with 4:11 gears and drum brakes. The odometer shows 38k and I don't believe it has flipped more than once. It has the original paint, a steel roll bar, and forward facing rear seats that fold down and forward. It has never been wrecked and has zero bondo. It does have rust in the typical places and should be repaired. It runs and drives great. It has a 2 1/2 inch skyjacker lift with the hydro shocks. Wheels are 15x7 with 31x10.5 BFG all terrains. It has been driven very little in the last 3 years.

I helped the previous owner install the v-8 in this rig in 1996. The engine mounts are bolted to the rivet holes of the original F motor mounts. This could easily be returned to a stock motor if someone wanted to.

Asking $5,000 or best offer.

Any rust under that aluminum. Looks like a nice, clean truck.

There is rust where the quarter meets the rocker by the rear of the steps. There is also rust where the rear fenderwell meets the quarter and on the inner rear fender braces. The rear lower portion of the quarters was patched with new metal in 1996. Also, the edge of the front fenders have about a 2x3 piece that is rusted by the brace. I will get more detailed pictures of this posted next week.

Overall, I think it is about average rust for one that has never been restored.
