Check with Glen at Lex-tech, if he can't, he'll know who can.
McIntosh imports, also
Several years ago, Glenn went in to business with Rick (the guy that likely answered the phone), and moved to their new location in West Ashley (I think this was 2013ish). Rick pointed out that Glenn was spending far too much time on the old 40's and 60's. He was right. From a profitability standpoint, Glenn could turn out 5 new Lexus sedans in the time it would take to get started on a 40 for the same price. Furthermore, they take up space in the bay that he needs since he doesn't have a terribly large operation. He knows the trucks REALLY well, but he takes them back to stock, and most 40's are far from stock when they arrive. Glenn owned a very nice 40 and a built 80 but he no longer has interest in the vintage cruisers. Oh, and last time I was there, he mentioned that he doesn't want to touch 80's anymore either.FWIW, I DM'd Glenn earlier last week on the site and I just called up to Lex Tech and asked for an appointment to check out my 40 and the guy who answered the phone said somewhat rudely "Glenn doesn't work on old Landcruiser's anymore." After a period of silence I asked if I could maybe speak with him as a favor and got the same reply. His suggestion was to call Trollhole's which I found ridiculous. My buddies who work at the local dealerships still say Glenn is the guy when it comes to old Landcruisers in Charleston, but apparently not anymore. Nothing earlier than an 80. Called Macintosh's. They will still work on old trucks, but their first appointment is 3 weeks from now.

If you want to keep the truck local, Macintosh is the place to go, from what I understand. I met him at Cars and Coffee and he seems like a nice enough guy. He is also good with other trucks. I'm not sure how well your truck runs, but I would argue that Trollhole's is one of the best Cruiser places in the country. And it's in South Carolina. He's worked on all of my trucks. I even had a mishap on my FJ40 and he drove all the way from Greenville to Charleston to fix it - then he turned around and went home. Free of charge.
What do you need done? Are you looking for someone to restore it or do you just need some maintenance? This club is overdue for a HAMOM - I have a LOT of work to do and I will be free from the bonds of school in a few months.
