My 77 FJ 45 complete frame off nut and bolt resto.

just in time for the snow to fly.
 
Here’s a few pictures at the start of the build. I have owned the truck for close to 15 years. Was my sons daily driver for about half that time. Then he moved and the poor ole gal had to sit in my yard and began to rust. It was either sell it or restore it. I found a fellow with a shop literally 5 minutes from my home and he agreed to take on the project…and what a project it is. Here are a few photos of the beginning.

Great decision to keep her at home, great job accomplished, congrats mate!

Your project inspires me in respect to my BJ45 resto-project.
For us, no-wrenchers, a good (and economical) shop, just 5 minutes from home seems to be the way to go...

thank you, I’m actually a Ms, not a mate, I often wonder how many gals are on this site.
 
looks like the bolt flange for the rear spring pin isn't in the correct position
 
So the frame rails were re extended to go back to the original bed length?

would love to see more pics of any rust repair work done on the bed itself.

I don’t think they had to extend anything to make it fit, sorry no more pics of the bed
