1978 fj 40. I purchased it thinking I would swap the axles to my 74 40. The 40 came from Globe AZ. The owner told me that Dave from 4 plus did all the work on it. After I got it I decided I would build it up possibly for a everyday driver. So I started going that route and purchased a donor truck for the running gear. It was a 92 suburban with a 5.7 TBI and 4L60. It had 150,000 miles on it. I drove it for about a month to make sure the engine was good then pulled it out. Had the transmission rebuilt and AA adapter put on it with a new flywheel and torque converter. Also went thru the engine and had new bearings, valve seals, oil pump, water pump, valve seals put in. New AC compressor, TBI throttle body, coil, distributor, plugs, plug wires, freeze plugs, all gaskets and seals replaced. New crankshaft pulley, Head bolts, RV cam from Comp Cams. I hate to sell it but life gets in the way.... Pretty firm on 8000.00.

New saginaw power steering with high steer.
FJ 60 front axle completely rebuilt with all New TRE and drag links, longfields, asin hubs, 4:10 gears, Arb locker. Disc brakes with slotted rotors.

Clean title... I know, I have way more invested but it needs to be finished and I don't have the time... It is going to be a great 40 one day!
 
Where was this when I was looking. Only a few hours from me. To bad I just torn mine apart for a frame off. GLWS
 
If i only had cash and a garage. That should sell quick. The axles and the t-case are almost worth the asking price.
 
Way to good of a deal to pass up.
