that's a 45LV that was chopped, shortened and widened. i have seen the rig at millenworks and sat in it for a few minutes. amazing work.
extensive reworking. It says it started with a 1967 FJ45 in the write up.

yup, 67 FJ45LV, not a pickup.
Random question time. How long once deposit is made for one to be built?

One of these is definately in the plan, there´s was a lot of filler work done on that one, we can make the whole thing from steel with no bondo.
All I need is a lv and a big bag of money..and about 5 months.

This is what Millen's web site says:
"In order to incorporate the proper mix of Land Cruiser history and the latest in Toyota technology, Rod Millen and the engineers at MillenWorks started with an original 1967 FJ-45 Land Cruiser Wagon and fit it to a current generation Land Cruiser chassis and drivetrain. To adjust for the difference in size between the FJ and the current-generation vehicle, the Retro Cruiser body was widened by 3 in. on each side, and lengthened by 10 in.
Width also was added to the front fenders, and the rear wheel wells were lengthened to accommodate larger tires, while the rear doors were lengthened approximately 5 in. for easier ingress/egress and to provide more legroom for backseat passengers."

Georg.
The rear doors are 26.5 inches wide..the front doors are now one piece window.
All the doors are the height as oem. and they are both the same height as each other.
The overall length is give or take 18ft.,
5ft 9 wide. and with the rack 6ft 7 high.

hey paul.
got a couple of questions:
1) are the front doors stock length? they appear to be
2) how much shorter are the rear doors?
looking good, keep posting the updated pics. it'll be sweet to see it outside so you can get a better sense of the proportions.
When you build your doors, are you rolling (bead roller) or stamping? Pics of process? Just trying to learn how you craft something like this.
Im guessing a large throat bead roller but ???
Beautifull work BTW!

made by hand.
Only parts that are stamped are front floor section, and the pick up bed floor, these parts are hand finished though to get the lay correct.
email me info@toyotona.com

So where are these rigs going to on that rollback? Do the prices you quote include paint? What did you start with as a basis for the build? What would the title say? Would it be considered parts coming into the US or a complete vehicle?

There going somewhere on that rollback. price does not include paint,
Basis for the build was a 78 fj45lpb, tiltle would say 78 landcruiser pickup.
well , i guess it depends on the customs agent..it can easily be put on stands without the diffs, so it´s more parts like..
