For sale 1973 fj40 Must see. I’m the Third owner, the truck was purchased in Truckee Ca. Then went to red river or angel fire NM. The second owner purchased in NM a took it to waco tx. I bought the truck in 2008 and drove until 2012. I parked it and was going to start making some upgrades. I rebuilt the front end with mini truck knuckles and disks. I moved the alternator and bought the power steering mounting brackets from Georg, but I haven’t installed it. Brackets and power steering box and pump go with. The seats are from some donor vehicle. I have the factory seat mount, but didn’t like the way the seats were installed, so I was going to go back to stock. That was on the to do list.
Since it has been sitting in my barn since 2012 it needs some love. I know the master cylinder and probably the power booster needs to be replaced ( some brake fluid was leaking inside the truck) also the clutch slave and maybe the clutch master. Engine cranks and runs good carb needs some adjustments.

I’m 63 years old, while this 40 has been sitting in my barn collecting dust we have had a few things happen that has changed our priorities, so I hope someone will purchase and give the 40 the attention it deserves.

I’m asking 9k got clean title.
I will try to answer any questions.
Serious inquires please.

You aren't far off on pricing, but in my opinion, as it sits, to sell this you will need to be closer to $6500-8000. If you find the right buyer you may get a little more. It definitely looks solid and the hard top / doors add value. Rust isn't bad at all. I would invest another $500 to get it running and driving, clean it up, and market a bit more. Invest that money and your return will double. If your 40 was a driver (still needing regular work like all 40s need, but was able to go down the road on it's own safely) I'd say $8-9k is very fair.
Just my thoughts. Good luck. I hope someone picks this up that will fix it and drive it.... not try to flip it for a ton of money....

Thanks fjdemon.
I’m currently making a list of parts to get it inspected and back on the road, but that will make harder for me to sale it.. NO it must go

I hear you. I vote you fix it up and keep it, but if you must sell it definitely invest a little to get a better price.
 
I’m dropping the price to 8k.
I know in it’s current condition it’s a project. It starts and idles but need the carb cleaned and adjusted.
I have video I took this weekend of it running.

If you’re not interested in parts and tools I’ve got to go with the truck. We can probably work on the price some.
