Ok I know this isn't a true 45 but it does have a cut down 45 bed on it. This started out as a 77 fj40 that was cut just behind the doors to make the cab. The frame was cut and extended 32 inches to make room for the 5ft bed. The bed came from a 64 fj45 swb. The back quarters were rotted off (don't flip out you purist) and we used the rear quarters that we cut off the fj40 to complete the bed. This project has been in the works for a few years. I had it at SNT for the 10 year anniversary. It now has a 5.3 from pacific fabrication BTB LS aluminum radiator, th400 with Art Carr shifter, and Atlas. 5.29 gears with front and rear ARB's. Front is spring over with 4x4 labs high steer kit and longfields. Rear is 4 link with 1 1/4 heim joints and quarter elliptical with disc brakes. It has 5 excellent condition ( spare has never been on the truck) Goodyear MTR's 40 inch mounted to 17"american racing teflon coated wheels. There is a full roll cage frame mounted with 2 Corbeau seats. Warn 8274, Soft top was custom made along with the rear cover (not shown). The top level of the rack has been removed and the tent is mounted flush with the top now. 16 gallon

Fuel cell in the bed and a very comfortable RTT. Truck was taken to Alaska a couple of years ago for a Non-official Alaska Trek. This is a very dependable truck that is driven locally quite often. I am asking $32,500. I hate to sell but I have my eye on another project. I am located just North of Atlanta Ga.

Thanks for looking.

I'm really glad you got to use this truck after all the time and effort you put into building it. IIRC, when I first saw it in the shop, you were still working out fitting the bed to it. To hear Henry tell it, it's more epic that you survived the trip on Roger's trailer than the backcountry of Alaska!:eek:

P.S. you might want to add a disclaimer for peeps in states with emissions requirements.:censor:

P.P.S. I still think we shoulda wheeled the Rover at SNT!:grinpimp:

awesome rig... I am interested in the tent and set up in the back... for my 45
 
This thread SCREAMS for more pics! Front Pinion angle with SOA, rear 4 link anchor points, yada yada. IOW, Vanna, show 'em what they'll get!

Folks, in case it hasn't registered, this cab has got a s***-ton more legroom for us tall folks than a 'standard' cab.

Legroom=good.:clap:
 
Oh Henry, my have things changed here in California since you left. You can visit with that beautiful piece of art but you can't own one unless it's 1976 or older. Anything after 76 has to pass strict emissions now. I guess one could trailer it :idea:
