Now with another project in drivable condition it is time I actually actively advertised this truck--starting to look like my own private 45 run with the truck sitting around. Here is a recap on the truck:
Up for sale is my 1966 LWB Cummins B3.3 FJ45. Mechanically the items are either new or rebuilt—the truck performed flawlessly on a 970 mile round trip journey to the “45 Run” and average 22.5 MPG. Proffits Cruisers did most of the hard work—but many additions have been added since getting it back from Proffits. Here is a short run down of the truck:
-NEW Cummins B3.3 with intake heater and new aluminum radiator
-rebuild fine spline axles with disk brakes up front
-Very very low mileage TH475 GMC Automatic transmission with Toyota split transfer case
-Saginaw power steering
-Shackle reversal
-OME 2.5″ lift springs front and rear
-Upgraded power brakes
-New steering pump recently installed
-New door seals, and door window seals
-Interior of doors treated with Eastwood rust converter and rust encapsulater
-new top windshield seal
-new seat belts
-very low mileage BFG 33 tires with spare to match
-New AutoMeter gauges and senders
The truck has a little less than 5500 miles on all the mechanicals—but that changes daily. The body is not perfect, however there are no major issues or rust concerns with this truck. Paint was done by the Previous owner, not professional—but looks good. There are a couple holes on the underside of the cab—but they have been treated with Eastwood rust converter. Only place there is bondo on the vehicle is passenger front fender and very rear side of the bed--all others areas appear great. All electrical works as it should. This truck will cruiser all day at 60MPH and will go faster but your mileage goes down. On a trip to CA my best mileage was 24.98MPG. I am sure I am forgetting something. Asking $18,500.00 or Best Offer—Engine alone was $5200.00 from Cummins. If someone is interested in buying the truck but would like to have additional body work completed before taking possession that can be arranged, but will be an additional cost added to the purchase price. Or if someone wanted something additional mechanically added to the vehicle I can perform that work as well for an additional cost over the purchase price.
--in addition I am having the front drive line slip yoke extended after doing some calculations and determining if someone were able to compress both front springs fully at the same time there would be a slight chance of damage to the transfer case. I don't like slight chances so I am having that corrected. Plus I am adding bump extensions for the front axle.

Was lying under the truck today staring at the two holes and the next thing I know I had a cutoff wheel in my hand. So the bottom of the cab will be fixed correctly and then painted black. I will update the photos accordingly with progress. That only leaves the front passenger side fender as an eye sore.

Here are a few photos showing new front drive line with longer slip yoke, and rust areas cut out. Areas have been treated with a rust converter which requires 48 hours to cure and then new metal will be going in.
