Guys,
I have a 64 fj45 lv that is sprung over, high steered, Howe ram assist power steering, under armored like a tank, 327 with a three speed presently installed with a t-400 and rebuilt cruiser t-case sitting in a crate next to it. The interior is stripped. I have pretty much every part to complete the truck. It came complete with crappy interior. I began to repair a few rust spots, had the entire front end stripped and dipped,(may need it again to freshen up prior to painting, has a warn 9000 up front. It has a locker in the rear, disc up front and I think drum in the rear.
Most of the mechanical work was done by the Badlands Offroad shop in Indiana. It is a project that I am afraid I will never get to cause I keep scooping up other junk that is further along.
I am not sure if I should get rid of it cause it will be missed. But seeing as I spend most of my time with my 55 and the kids, it may never get further...
If anyone is interested in a project like this, let me know. I might try to get it further completed and then sell it on here in the classifieds or worse case hit Ebay. I am concerned though cause I sold a few pickups a year or two ago and the guy was a bit odd when he received them. I was beyond fair, overly honest about every detail, and still felt like the dude was not happy. He could have sold one for what I sold him two for, or close, but he still wasn't happy. I don't want to deal with that unless I have to.
I can show anyone locally at almost any time. The cruiser is at my home in Green Oaks Il.
Any advice or thoughts would be great. I am torn but space here sucks and I want to make room for some type of shop. Storage is an option but I am afraid it will just sit there for years...
Before anyone gives me crap about no price, keep in mind I am looking for thoughts not values. I am hoping someone locally wants to take over where I left off.
