Well, I finally came to a price on a "found in barn" FJ40. No it's not a perfect, 10 miles on the dial rig. Guy gave up on his project. Currently in frame off status.
BUT it has a very good body tub and cowl to swap onto my 71. Is this going to be a straight across swap, or is there something going to jump up and throw sand in my wheaties.
Also has full rolling frame, windshield, hard doors, rad, hood, 30K 350, sm420 (rebuilt) mated to 4 speed TC. (engine, tranny, TC all bolted together, not installed yet)
And a bunch of other stuff. Have to find/rent/borrow a trailer to get er home
