I tried to add this under the prefix for builds, but for some reason it won't let me select that....sigh. Anyways, I picked this fst up a few weeks ago....here's a link to it: SOLD - CA. 1969 FJ40 FST - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/ca-1969-fj40-fst.1286209/page-3#post-14604237
It fires right up, which is nice. But, the driver side rear brakes were leaking and no brakes, so I figured that's a good place to start. I had intended to rebuild the cylinders, but 3 of the 8 are seized and one of them is missing internal parts....could be why it was leaking. New cylinders and shoes are on order. I'm still going thru it to see what all is needed to get her road worthy. On a side note, I've never driven a column shifter before....it's pretty fun even though I could only go up the driveway.
Here's some pics of her arriving and getting to know the rest of the family.
