I am selling my 1978 FJ40 as an incomplete project. It does not seem like I will have the time to finish this and I need to move on. The truck is a 1978 West Coast truck with 84,000 original documented miles. It does not have the original motor , the previous owner blew it up. It has a shackle reversal , 3 inch lift ,Rough Country, mini truck power steering with a Texas Offroad rebuilt box.
custom made 8 inch steel wheels with NOS OEM hubcaps, all rust was addressed and the truck was repainted as necessary. New upholstery on the seats and jump seats, Holley carb replaced with a Fuji from City Racer, it starts but needs a tune. I have a FJ60 air cleaner , OEM air horn and bracket, new washer wiper bottle, the previous owner cobbled a wiper delay into the dash wiring and this needs to be sorted out. I have all new OEM turn signals and marker lights , some connectors need to be soldered or pinned. I have NOS bumperettes, I have the side panels with all rust repaired and repainted, I have the amby doors with all rust repaired and repainted, I have the fiberglass roof , it has no rust. This truck spent 20 years in a garage in OR, My cell is 201-248-9387 to text questions.
At this point it is an assembly project , all the hard work is done. The truck has very little rust so it is a pleasure to work on.

Did the original owner document how he blew up a Toyota engine by 84,000 miles?

He was an idiot, got it locked in 4 low and drove it home that way, See note above re: wiper delay. The truck belonged to his wife, who owned it with her father.
It has a late model FJ60 2F with the bolt holes for a factory PS pump

I just love this truck. I wish I could swing it. If you still haven't sold it by next year, I'll be interested

So, after getting stiffed by two buyers, I am withdrawing the offer to sell in it's current condition. I will finish it up and list on bring a trailer.
Not many sub 100k mile 40's out there with 25 years inside storage. I thought this would be an easy sale. I guess the market has changed

What was your asking price? Looks like a great rig!

I've seen this truck and have dealt with the owner a few times. The truck is solid and the owner is trustworthy.

It is, just ordered WS to install the sides , top and amby doors.

Yeah, never saw an asking price?

 

[777Gage]

It did have an asking price when the ad first went up of $24k (I believe that's accurate?) @447xpro

Reasonable for the work that has been done to it

So no availability for OEM WS for the tub to side panels, bought one aftermarket set that was manufactured backwards. Just got a set of repro's from City Racer that should work better.
