Thanks Bob.

I didn't start it much the last year. I did start and drive it earlier this week - filled with fresh gas. Started right up and drove fine. Has new brakes, tires, and wheels were powdercoated to match the truck. Has petronix ignition. Carb was rebuilt shortly before I parked it. AC compressor was rebuilt and the receiver dryer was replaced but I've never recharged it - will take 134 now. Rear window not working - discovered this week may get a chance to repair. Truck was a SoCal truck always I think so for rust - floors rust free - lower quarters very little - only bad rust is in drip rails - I'll try and get pics up close of that .

Drives and stops as it should, 3spd on tree - vacum actuated transfer . Trans - Transfer - axels all quiet - For a LC.

Motor checks out by ser number as a 1974 2F

I'll shoot some fresh pics this Saturday.

=========================================

Yeah it started right up. Drove good. Just cant take 3 LCs with me into retirement - space issue. It's parked at ex's and she is anxious for me to get it out of the driveway (guess my 1/2 of the house payment doesn't cover driveway space? )

Work is really busy so i just don't have the time to chase a bunch of stuff around - hope somebody gets her that will love her as much as I have. She's always got me back from the dumb places I got her into!

Reciever Dryer

Pablo got it from CoolStream in AZ Guy is a Mudd memeber and good guy - rebuilt my Nippondenso compressor for me and set me up to run 134. Haven't charged it yet but was looing forward to the original AC keeping me cool - the blower and everything else seemed to work but the belt was off the compressor and the thing seemed locked when i bought it so CoolStream guy said he could rebuild it.


If you want I'll try and dig up his contact info?

This is a helluva buy in my opinion. Shmukster

If this was on the east coast, it would already be in my driveway. Of course, I haven't seen an FJ55 on the road in N.J. in about 10 years!

 

[Cruiserdrew]

That's a great deal. Someone should jump on it. Wish I had more indoor garage space.

 

[OldBeachBob]

Geeez. I'm starting to feel Ike Santa. I had to tell a bunch of local guys I'd sell based on response time. Mudd responder has 1st chance. If he isn't the winner I'll make sure i let the new keeper know about Mudd. Lucky still got 2 LCs I'm keepin.
