Interesting roof top mounts, especially the distance between them. Guessing the middle ones were misplaced long the way.

Not sure, the square tubing they used is thick walled enough to carry elephants with. Way over built !

As long as there is no weird initiation things I have to do(JK) I would like very much to be part of this group. Deal is done. Arranging delivery to my house.

Is this the one made from bacon?

 

[scrapdaddy]

Yeah, you don't want to stand by the campfire too long in the bacon suit either, that's when it gets weird.

See, these are the things that kind of scare me!! VIN is FJ55 - 11354. I tried looking it up but I could only find info on FJ40 VINs

My 68 is stamped #10787 if that helps. Using SOR link mine was manufactured in or around April 1968.

Yours is looking to be between July and august of 1968…

All my trucks have names. I think above is appropriate if ya naming yours.

 

[thorslc1977]

Thanks. Rig won't be delivered until Monday.

Oh, you know, right after she says "It's either me or that stupid car!"

Corollary of a quote from the philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer:

Buying books would be a good thing if one could also buy the time to read them​

Perfect ^^^

 

[PabloCruise]

Maybe a moderator should move this to the FJ55 section? Also I am having a hard time changing where I live in my profile I don't live in Bakersfield anymore I live in Tehachapi.

We would love to have your 55 thread over there!

Did I rebuild your carb recently?

 

[Pigeaten]

Nope

 

[65swb45]

Nope

Cool. I did one for someone up north recently that asked me for my last set of apron turn signals (68 feature like the steering wheel), so I though maybe.
