FINALLY - '67 FJ45 LPB Resoration Begins

Awesome rig and write up

Loving that rear bumper - think your fabricators would be interested in making another one?

I'm very happy with it. I like how it looks, and it gives me confidence that I won't crunch the rear of the bed when I'm going over ledges etc... Unfortunately the company that made it is out of business, so they won't be making any more. Feel free to use the pictures on the thread and have someone else try to replicate.

Any chance you would be willing to share a lot more photos?

 

[Kotekaman]

No problem, let me know what you would like for pictures, I'll post them up.

I did not get any insulation put in the floor or firewall (against recommendations from Proffitt's, as I was more worried about layers that could trap moisture against the body than heat), so the transmission and exhaust got the interior pretty warm on the uphill climbs.

What type of proposal did they have for the insulation? I like the look of the bare floor or lining but they are loud on the road and would be interested in what Proffits suggested...

Hi,
Nice pick-up, and great color.

I am on the process of doing something similar to my 65' fj45 long bed. It is funny but I am going with the same color.

What color are your front turn signals? Where did you buy them?

Thanks,
Martin

Those are OEM turn signals. They were painted body color on older Cruisers, but new replacements from Toyota are painted the pewter color.

Still available from the dealer.

Still have the truck? Any updates? Just read the whole build thread. Stumbled upon it while searching for something and now I don’t even remember what I was searching for!?!?!
