For Sale 1980 Euro spec BJ43

Location

United States

SOLD SOLD Hi guys.I have decided to sell my 1980 BJ43 to make some extra funds available for my new project the BJ74 rolling drivetrain with a BJ43 body.This BJ43 I found in Europe a year or 2 ago and it had been parked for over 20 years when I found it.Once I got it in the US it only took me 30 min to get her running again but found the reason why she was parked that long ago.The front third had locked up and broke the Transfercase.At that point I decided to do a frame off resto mod and I replaced the B with a 3B and a later model split case with E brake.Added power steering,disc brakes and a 4" lift.Overhauled both axles and installed all new seals gasket bearings and a set of Spartan lockers fr and rear.This is not the most original or shiny 43 you can find but it is a great driver that is ready to be enjoyed by a new family.I did not spend 3 weeks wet sanding the paint to get a mirror finish like you see on all those Latin American trucks but I did spend my time on making sure that this truck with be a perfect long distance driver,weekend warrior,camping rig.......etc etc.

I have done a few thousand miles with it since I put it back together but never finished the details like painting and installing the rear bumperettes and the sun visors and some other little things.I am focusing on getting those done asap so the new owner will just have to enjoy it.

Here is a link to the Ebay listing ,I have it on Craigslist for 35K but I will give a Mud discount if I sell it to a MUD member

Thanks

Joe

Nice truck, however I noticed that the bezel is on upside down. The thicker part is topside, like this - notice the positions of the notches for accessing the headlamp adjusting screws:

The Ebay auction is running on it's last days now and I added a buy it now price of 29.995$

If there is a Mud member with a serious intrest I can make a very good deal on it to keep in the Cruiser community.

Back on Ebay again and price drop.

If it does not sell this time I will take off the ARB and put the stock bumper back on and reinstall the OEM seats in it.
