1978 FJ40 Project- Northeast $2200

Nobody wants a 1978 FJ40 project? Is the economy that bad? General Electric 1st quarter earnings got you worried. Invest in old betsy, she just needs to be finished. It has been garaged the past 12 years. Frame is 8/10, Top is 8/10, needs some metal work on the body. Engine has been de-smogged. New radiator, new poly gas tank, brand new SOR exhaust, distributor. The truck runs, just needs some minor brake/ clutch work. Yodafrick has even blessed it. $2200 obo. Located in CT. If not old betsy, how about the FJ60?

Where in CT and how much for the 60? Also, from the pictures the 40 appears to have a 3 speed tranny. Is that what is installed?

 

[jupjasper]

Yes, at some point someone put a 3 speed in. Strange. Looking for $3200 obo. on the 60. Both are located in central CT, Cromwell area.

Got any pics of the rust in the body? floorboards, inside or rear wheel wells, back quarters? ect. Is it repairable or does it need a tub? What type of brake/clutch work? Also do you know does it have a 3spd t-case as well or just a 3spd trans with a 4speed case?

I'm on Long Island and could pick up the 40... Is it road legal/registered?
Is it drivable... as in: would you feel comfortable driving it to the Ferry and then another 30 miles on Long Island?

I'm interested in pics of the worst of the rust too. Particularly the frame on the driver's side at the rear spring perches and the floors, rear wheel wells, rear sill. All electrics (lights, turn signals) work?
email em to mark@woytovich.com if you want...
