Hello y’all
So I have been on the 60 forums for awhile now.
More like 6 or 7 years. I still own an 83 60 series that is a replacement of a 84 FJ60 (Dusty) that got t-boned last year in June.
I come here from time to time and see what your 40 series guys are doing.
And always tell myself “ I should of never sold my two Fj40’s I had back in 87 through 1990. Now I can proudly say I am a new owner once again of this 1971 Fj40.
it was just delivered today from central California.
And it is a diamond in the ruff to say the least.
everything motor wise is complete it has the usual rust in the rear sill minimal though.
and few dents here and there. She has been sitting for awhile now. She has a three on the tree tranny and a under dash transfer shifter. It also came with an extra 4 speed floor shifter fj40 tranny and transfer case.
It has the had the drive shafts in the rear of the truck! And the rear parking brake drum. It came with the bezel upside down. So I immediately flipped it to its correct position. Started vacuuming the pine needles and dirt it inside and in the engine bay. My plans are to hopefully get her running and baselined replace what it is either broken or missing. Which really isn’t much. park lamps, turn signal lenses, maybe possibly rear tail light lenses.
Drain the fluids and replace, check brakes and convert it to front disc brakes.
With the salvaged parts I saved from my 60 series.
And if the motor is seized I have good running 2f that also came off my fj60.
So here are a few pics as she was sitting in the lot where I saw it. And of it here in my back yard.
Will be back and forth from the 60 series forum to this 40 series forum.
Talk later!
Cheers
