So I painted this truck for my little sister and she decided she didn't want it. So back up for sale it is again. It is a 78 with solid running 2f. NO TRANSMISSION. there is one in louisville KY for 300 but I don't have time to run up and get it. I put this on craigslist for 2500. any mud member wants it, 2000. NO TRADES unless its a 5 speed. :) The seats, roll bar and tranny hump are just sitting in the truck, not bolted down. any questions call my cell at 270-670-7749. thanks, Chad

Where in KY?
 
Glasgow ky....... keeping my wheels. Sorry forgot to put that in the ad. Tires are junk but no extra rollers right now.
 
How is the body? Much or any bondo?
 
I have an extra set of fenders the buyer can have. I don't think they are in much better shape but not sure.
 
not trying to rush anyone but my phone has been blowing up from craigslisters..... I had lots rather see a mud member get this. If you want a solid foundation, this is a great start. If I didn't have all the cruisers I did, I would be buying this one again. :) text or call me with any questions or pics you want. 270-670-7749
 
Couldnt make this up if i tried but a mudder from Knoxville came and paid me for the truck and left. 2 hours later he called me back and said if he comes home with a fj40 his wife is divorcing him. Guess who now has a 78 fj40 back up for sale? :) yup back on the market.
 
I felt sorry for the guy. He rented a uhaul trailer and came to get it with a really bad @$$ fj cruiser/ super charged I might ad. It ain't worth 2000 to me to know that he gets a divorce. I can sleep well tonight. :)
 
If a mudder buys this by Sunday night i will throw in a good hard top, front doors and rear ambulance doors for an additional $500.

Just food for thought.
 
Bump for a whale of a deal.
 
went to buy this truck as a parts truck and when I got there it was better than most of mine that I start with. The odometer shows 32,xxx miles and lines up pretty good so they could be original miles but to be safe just assume 132,xxx. There is no tranny and transfer case but the bolts are still there. The PO took the tranny/transfer case out and put in an old 3 speed he had. The tub is in great shape. brand new panels from CCOT and they did a heck of a job rewelding them in. The welds do need to be ground down. There is a patch in the rocker panel but everything was done up to par. The frame has some surface rust on it but is solid. The motor work I have no idea about. It had been sitting in a barn for 8 years and running when it was parked. I hooked up the battery, checked the oil and poured gas in the carb. She didn't hesitate and started right up. The doors need patch panels on all of the bottom but they are solid. This includes the ambulance doors. Hard top is in good shape with some rust in the bottom right corner. Very repairable. All the glass is in the hardtop and doors. I have a medic exam on Tuesday. I bought another truck and that is the only reason I am selling this one. If not sold by tonight, I am going to take it off the market and redo it myself. The extra tranny/transfer for 300 on craigslist will be put in it and I will sell the truck for 4500. They bring it around here, i.e. nashville. The roll bar needs new feet. The pads are still on it. The seats are not original, but the frame that was made isn't half bad. Let me know if I can answer any other questions. Feel free to call my cell at 270-670-7749. Thanks and have a good day.

My paramedic program will be done Tuesday so after that, I am free as a bird. Hence the reason I am killing this tonight if not sold. I don't want to get rid of it but 8 cruisers is just CRAZY! Too many projects. Seriously, I would probably buy this again monday if I didn't own it. Worth the drive if you want a solid cruiser. I am firm on the price so please don't make the trip and try to offer any less. Really believe you won't be disappointed. My phone has blown up from the craigslist ad but not one guy has shown up from there.
 
Oh, the tranny hump does have some rust/mangle on the edges and will need to be addressed.
