Old Truck for Old Guy

So, yeah...Izzy got an FJ43, Tony Montana special edition. From the top, I have been looking for an old truck, rover or cruiser. I reached out to 3, a '62 Series 2a in Charlotte, and two early '70s Series 3 in VA, and a couple of yotas as well. I even had a good friend, Rover expert mechanic...

Looking real good, except those rear spring shackles are odd. Never seen those before!

Those are gone, replaced with Cruiser Outfitters anti inversion ones when I replaced the rubber bushings, just took this photo. Most of my parts I replaced came from Cruiser Outfitters or City Racer.

I just changed the old pics for new ones from this morning, thanks for pointing it out. I had photos over the years as I was working on it and didn’t have good ones of current state.

Izzy,
That is an awsome FJ43, do you have the inward-facing jump seats for it as well? I did not see them in the pictures are in the spare parts pile.
Thanks,
StlOilburner (Scott)

Scott, thanks, it is a sweet ride, but I don’t have the jump seats
