I recently found 2 FJ45 Toyota Land Cruisers. One is a 1965 and the other is a 1966. Both are long beds with removable. They are piles of rust! They are complete, however have been sitting out in the elements in the rusty Midwest since probably new. For the last 15 years they have been yard art if you want to call it that. The bodies are bad, floors gone, the frames are rusted in a few spots, ect...
The good is that they are all complete. Headache racks, interior, drivetrains, axles, ect.. Both have all dash components and switches intact. Hardtops are on them, the front end on one is not too bad. Doors are shot, rockers shot, floors are shot, the beds are bad, ect..
If they were FJ40's I would say that they are worth scrap. Here are my questions.
1. Is there a place to find frames for the long bed FJ45's. I don't really want to patch the frames if I take on the project.
2. Does anyone know where to find body parts for a FJ45? Tubs or Beds
3. Since these are piles of rusty junk, should I just part them out and if so is there any value there? Keep in mind frames and all body panels from the tub rearward are shot.
Thanks for your advice! I have always wanted a FJ45 so one side of me says to take on the project, and the other side of me says these are piles of junk and I should just part them out.
