Unicorn hunt. As the title says, looking for a 1960s era FJ40/45/FST, unmolested original paint no rot rig with great patina for a patina restoration. I realize every rear sill is essentially gone, but I don't want any large rust areas elsewhere on the truck. I'm getting an interesting swap deal, as described here LJ/FJ swap. This includes a rotted but running 1984 BJ40 and a new Cummins Repower R2.8. Given that, I don't need a running or original drivetrain truck, as it will get a modernization with at least disc brake axles, probably power steering, etc.
That said, for the purists, I promise that if I get the right patina rig, it will NOT be repainted. Any upgrades will be completely stealth, and only apparent if the hood is opened or someone in the know sees the disc brakes. Plan is for an otherwise preserved original body/paint. Fear not, I'll take care of your baby.
I assume this will have to come from out west, and I am on the east coast. A rig that ran at least enough to get on a transport truck would be ideal, but I'm sure it can be worked around if not.
Thanks, I look forward to hearing about what you have.
