No affiliation. States he's the original owner with 80k miles. Looks like it could be a good deal. No pics in ad.

Truck is solid. Runs and drives good. The owner bought it when he was 29 years old and in the Navy. Purchased in the midwest then two years later moved to Reno, NV spent the next 20+ years in NV. Then a few years in Montanna before moving to Gunnison, CO in 2003 to current. Was stored most it's life in garages and barns being driven occasionally. Had an Earl Scheib (literally) $272 paint job Freeborn Red (original color). He still had the receipt from the paint job. No body work done before the repaint according to him and the receipt. The crazy part is the Earl Scheib $272 paint job still looks good. Also had a Warn Electric Winch installed by the dealer 46 years ago. Winch was rebuilt 10 years ago. Rust in the rear sill and a little bit in the vertical tub seam under door otherwise in great shape. Frame is real solid and clean. Mostly stock except for an electronic ignition installed by a speed shop in Gunnson 10 years ago and a Dakar 2 1/2" lift installed in 1998. Thanks Ocho77 for turning me onto this gem. Drove straight to Classic Cruisers in Salida, CO to have him take a look at the body and rust. They are going to send me an estimate. Mean while the wheels are going to get sand blasted and new shoes will be installed. Original headliner, very tight but faded.
Thanks Ocho77 for turning me onto this gem!

A few pics!
Finally home!
Opened my email tonight to find an email from prevueus owner with pictures and titles. one of the pictures is from 1971 the day he bought it.
The day he purchased the FJ in Great Lakes, IL.
Two years later in 1973 moving from IL to NV he stopped at his parents house in SD.
Somewhere in NV late 70's. Sierra Mountains would be my guess.
Another late 70's early 80's in NV hunting with his dad.
So cool. i love it when the truck comes with a story. congrats.
Outstanding, great story, thanks for posting and congrats!
Leaking brake or clutch master. Tend to it soon or the paint will peel off!
It's the clutch master cylinder, it's first on my list.
I will thanks for the advice!
