more pics please

 

[FJBen]

The only other pics I have...I don't have any new ones when It's at my house...this weekend when I start the build thread...

A little more cleanup last night....

Removed more lights...hi-lift jack

I did get the factory spare down off the back. It is an OEM 16" non-split rim. Can you still get that tire new from Toyota? That tire carrier is pretty cool how that works

 

[beaufort-fj60]

looks like it's in good shape, nice find

The previous owner must have had a fear of running out of gas.

I think he wants to have relations with his wife sometime this decade...

Yea, well I think he's chicken.......;p

 

[FJBen]

Yea, well I think he's chicken.......;p

lol...that yellar' ;p

Hey Dan, can you still get OEM 16" non-split rims???

 

[cruiserdan]

There may be some mid 80's styled wheels available. I do not have a part number for a 16 that would take a hub cap.

 

[FJBen]

hmmm...would there be any markings or numbers on the rim itself I could look at? Or prolly not with this foreign version

 

[Crruisercharlie]

Congrats!!... and welcome to the club!

Interesting how it has the wipers on the top, early doors and no dash pad. 4hinge tail gate and later turn signals are era correct. Non-USA spec?

 

[PabloCruise]

Have you started it yet?

 

[fjwagon]

Nice rig......I remember somebody posted this one a while back. It nice to know it's in good hands. I can not wait to see it when you bring it back to life.

 

[FJBen]

I need to pull all that old diesel out...who knows how long it's been in there. I started her the other night and she ran a little rough. Could be lots o cobwebs to blow out

The turn signals were added on later.

Here is a pic of the rim, and the only numbers I can find on it...

The number says: 5 1/2K X16 35 73/ 10

Factory Camo

Obviously a different truck but are you sure it isn't a factory camo job? Or a factory bed mount battery?

Nah, the hack that did the truck below which I almost owned must have been related...

 

[D'Animal]

What FJ? All I can see is two headlights and some windo glass. Sweet paint job! Has your wife noticed it yet?

 

[PabloCruise]

There may be some mid 80's styled wheels available. I do not have a part number for a 16 that would take a hub cap.

Do you mean 80 series non-US wheels? Or wheels from the mid-80's when these guys were popular:

 

[peterfj40]

nice truck,, is that your chevelle in the background of one of those pics?

 

[missipboy]

68? 69?

 

[FJBen]

Those pics were are the previous owners house, and that was an El Camino ;p

Good news was I did drive around the block last night, piss-poor brakes and all...

My 3 year old couldn't stop laughing from the second I started it...little bit o vibration! What a sweet sound that diesel is!!!!

I saw a part number for some wheels like these...but i dunno if I like them or not yet...lol
