clean as far as I can tell FJ55 for sale in NM, have been following this pig for a cpl. of years and has a very interesting history, might not have all the details as a lot of my old files were erased when I switched hard drives.........Vietnam? via Okinawa; factory AC, PTO? now for sale by a motivated seller; this piggy is begging for a good home.........sellers name is Larry and here is is email address;

While towing it home, the rear differential swallowed the pinion shaft and self destructed. I have a complete rear axle assembly from a 1973 FJ40 as a replacement. It also needs some carb work as it will not accelerate properly.

I hope the wife will let me get her

I have no affiliation to seller

Well.... it looks like I will never get one, the wife just shot me down AGAIN. And to think I was going to take her to Maui. I even tried say well I will take you to Maui if you let me buy this pig. Nothing doing.

But for all you pig lovers if want to see more pics, Email me @ sbolmer@central.com and I will forward you the E-mails he sent me

I will continue my Quest for a Pig.

mmmmm Headrest. There is something you don't see much on the early cruisers. Nice bumpers and the sheetmetal looks to be fixable.

you are right about the headrests Marshall wondered about them also, this was not an original US truck, anyone know if the japanese spec trucks came with them?

Dunno but from what I can tell those style headrest only came on 73-75 cruisers. They have the wide post. Where as the later models 76-79 came with the bech that had a curved top and the narrow post headrest that were standard in 40's
