1970 FJ40, originally from Montana. been in storage and not driveable for decades. It is so solid and nearly rust free. I didnt want to paint it, I love patina. This is a straight six engine, three on the tree manual transmission with vacuum operated four wheel drive. It is a perfect driving 40. no top or side doors, I only drive on nice days. Completely stock with a few saftey exceptions. Its value is derived from a mechanically sound truck with such a solid body. I havent seen one so clean in decades. I never planned to sell this truck but life has gotten in the way. Completely Rebuilt engine rebuilt carb, done in florida by a FJ40 carb expert. front disk brakes off a 1976 FJ40, rebuilt front knuckles. rear disk brakes, JT outfitters. all new brake lines, steel and rubber. Dual circuit master cylinder. new fuel tank, sender, rebuilt fuel pump, all new fuel lines. new clutch. wiring in truck is original and looks and works fantastic. brand new 31" BF Goodrich Mud Terrain TA KM3 radial tires everything works as it should, there is so many details addressed but to many to list. reach out with any questions.
