This vehicle is titled 1974, however frame and body are ~76. The motor is from a 1987 FJ60 with ~190k miles. I've owned it for 20 years and it's been a fun truck. For someone who doesn't mind metal work this could be a great deal.

Price: $6500, PICTURES

The good:

• 1987 motor runs and drives well. It was transplanted 10 years ago from an '87 FJ60 with ~180k miles.
• Power steering
• HEI distributor

The not so good:

• It could use a carb clean due to not being driven enough
• Seats are worn
• Soft top and bikini tops only
• Side mirror need replacement

The bad:

• Significant rust at the front hanger of the rear leaf spring on both sides (see IMG_7142). Frame will need repair at those two locations before this is driven much. I have one replacement hanger. For someone with welding skill this isn't a big deal, but not many auto shops want the liability of frame repair. The rest of the frame is in decent shape.
• A good amount of rust all round the body and the door bottoms. I did replace the left quarter panel 15 years ago and added the half door tailgate.
