here is the truck I am thinking about buying, 68K orig miles, dont know if the paint is orig.

 

[Landpimp]

my guess is, yes the paint is(or mostly) original.....those are the correct vintage pin stripes......no one would put them back if repainted

sunroof is not

landpimp, good eye!!!! I was hoping no one would notice the ghetto sunroof typical rust but a western unit so its not too bad, what do you think its worth?

Landpimp- Was this some sort of appearance package? I also have the chrome bumperettes, wiper motor cover, tow hooks in front. My seats are black and I thought gray was standard for that year... part of the package?

black seats i've seen before, but pretty sure that chrome wiper motor cover and tow hooks are not factory.

if it's in great running/driving condition and everything is in decent shape, with the rust is has, 2500-4k. location figures in a lot.

Thats the range I bought it for, It was purchased new in FT collins Co. and live its whole life in chyanne WY. untill tonight. the 68K appears original, like the orig. owner said, the old hard pedal pads show very little wear! and the is not 1 leak under the hood

Looks like a great rig, My only concern would be the seals vaporising the first long drive you take.

BTW I have a black bezel, But, Im sure is been plated, Not painted, Its the same as the bumperette's

good buy.

and some of those miles may have been behind a RV

seals, I wouldt worry about it, I had a 72 el camino one owner, 26K on it, been sitting for years, only seals it needed was a rear axle seal.

It has been painted, it is too white it is suppose to be the wembelton white that all the stock bezels were. But the re-paint is very old, so chaulky it almost looks stock.

From what I gather there were no factory black bezels?

Hmmmm....


I do not remember Brazil making a Land Cruiser or factory components for the 40 series...Didn’t they make a knock off of a Land Cruiser called a Banderite?
