i ended up buying another 73. It runs so well my desire to start a huge build project has been quenched. I've decided to scrap plan b, and revert back to plan a and build this rig up with a fj60 or bj60 drivetrain.

Bluey fab is doing some awesome work on the body. Here are some of he latest pics of his work.

Good body work is definitely an art form, one of which I have no clue. Good Job!

Me either, but I want to learn. HBB is going to be my schooling. As soon as she roadworty, I'm going to order some panels from BOB and start learning.
 
I wanted to do a 6bt swap but I found a piggy with a Chevyota setup already going and decided to keep it the same. I've only had it for a few months and I already want another pig to go diesel. Piggys are addicting like tattoos.

I still dream of building a 6bt pig. Maybe one day.
 
Buying that = me dead and wife in jail.

:lol:smart man. I'm fairly stupid, but apparently good enough at some things to keep the boss happy. mostly keeping her 62 running
 
Torky has been sold. The new owner is doing a nut and bolt restoration to bring it back to factory specifications. The truck couldn't have found a better home.

I gotta say, I was a little overwhelmed by all the cruisers at the new owners shop. They are ALL being restored for his personal collection. What was more surreal was the WAREHOUSE of nos parts, he had on hand.

Mel,

All of those cruisers are one man's? I am totally amased. Is this his bussiness and does he have a crew working on them.

Sorry for the questions, but man, really?

The cruisers pictured, all belong to one land cruiser loving guy. He has a crew restoring them, for his private collection. This was one of his two warehouses. The other housed the "completed" rigs. None are for sale.
