Hello, new to the world of trucks and I have finally settled on a 60 series LC.
I would love to get some thoughts and advice on this 1988 FJ62. The owner has had it since 1993 and says he has all receipts since the truck was purchased.
The owner says It has a Vortec 5300 from a 2000 gmc sierra and matching transmission swapped in by a professional shop. Old Man Emu Lift, headers, new exhaust system, Optima battery, winter & summer wheels/tires. 105,000 on GMC engine & trans 238,000 on Toyota body.
The interior is good, seat covers on the front. There is some rust (in the photos) but it doesnt look like a deal breaker. Is it?
Do you think $10k a fair price?
I live about six hours away and am thinking that this is worth making the trek out to test drive it next week but wanted to run it by you guys first.
If I go out there what else should I look for/ask? Given the swap would a local mechanic even be able to do a good PPI? I'm not a mechanic myself so any and all insight is very much appreciated!
