Seller claims to have welded new OEM bed hooks on truck during resto. I did a search with no luck, has anyone else tried to get OEM bed hooks ? I did read mud thread on after market hooks . Thanks

RE: the BaT listing:

All is not what it appears to be. I have a lot of admiration for what can be done to "fix-up" an old vehicle in a third world country, when kept there and proudly used by the locals who kept the old girl running. Whoever created this--it's not their first rodeo with a Land Cruiser. This was created to be sold in the US to someone not too familiar with an FJ45 pickup truck. Decals and new VIN plates, colorful upholstery, but 3-tons of paint slathered over everything, especially items that were left untouched, a swapped engine, a later tailgate/valence, a very dubious brake system with a single brake master, etc., etc..

Obviously someone has made a business out of this for an unsuspecting market. Can't blame 'em for trying, but..................

Clever idea to show a picture of the old folks "original" owners, 'cause you know they're honest and the seller would never cheat them out of their most important possession. Sad, all the way around.

Thats exactly where I was leading the seller when I asked the question about the picture of two different beds . He BS'd me that he added original OEM bed hooks to the bed. You can see he's imported several and recently sold them .
