Finally got my corrugated top 40! (1 Viewer)

[daniel.watters]

After years and years of drooling over all of the early land cruisers, I got one. She’s rough but she was local and not going to be saved.

Congrats on the new FJ!

The good:
1964 year. Only has the block. Has the short running boards, the small rear view mirror, horns, wiper motors, original front and troop seats.
The bad:
Rust, Bondo, it needs a ton before it’ll be back on the road.

I’ll keep my eye on cheap used parts to repurpose and chip away at her!

Sounds like it may be a 1963 titled as a 64. What’s the VIN?

And you’re not going to make us ask you for more pictures are you?

 

[daniel.watters]

Some initial pics.

 

[daniel.watters]

Two different Kioto’s. Which is older?

 

[daniel.watters]

Lol. And I forgot this one has a complete motor. It’s stuck though and has the wrong carb. I have an SD40 to slap in though.

 

[daniel.watters]

Aaannnd- my other two shipped yesterday to Fort Rucker, AL.

What are your plans for this truck? Get it driving, frame off restore, ect... Just curious. Let me know what you need Daniel. I am sure I will have parts for you..

 

[daniel.watters]

Thanks Gabe. This girl is fairly rough but mostly complete. I plan in seeing if the motor is salvageable first. Then, clean it up and see what I have. Definitely not putting a lot of money into her. I’ll absolutely hit you up to see if you have parts that I’ll need.

 

[mmcinnis]

Great find, keep the pictures coming!

The one with the small koito mark.

Do you have the missing engine parts?

 

[daniel.watters]

No. She only has what’s in the photos. Before I start searching and buying parts, want to see if I can free up the motor.

 

[daniel.watters]

I have a few bits lying around. Just not there yet. So, judging by the Louisiana tag, last registered in ‘85! She was 21 years old then. I really hope to wake her from an almost 35 year slumber.

Also: the vin is 4-FJ40-22994 making it a January of 1964 cruiser.

 

[daniel.watters]

I might look for an E-67 tub and frame.... Especially since there no title and lots of rust.

Congrats!
You are my elder. My vin is 4-FJ40-23103, 109 trucks down the line. Also a Jan. '64 truck, a little later in the month. Mine was plated as a 1965 model.

 

[HelloKitty65]

Definitely not putting a lot of money into her.

She'll seduce you, you're really quite powerless in this decision.
