For Sale FJ45LV

[wout]

Location

United States

SOLD.





1963 or 1965 depends on how you look at it.

Proffitt's did some work on it:
Lift kit 4"
disc brakes
redone brake master and lines
original engine and three on the tree runs great, daily driver
lower gearing
and more....

would need some time to dig out the receipts and add pictures. Over 20k invested.

price 12k, that's what it worth to me at the very least.

Wouter, I hate to see you sell it. I can still remember first reading your thread from when you drove Clyde home from Proffitts.

GLWS!

Could you elaborate on the vintage ('63/'65)?

Any info you could share on the shape of the sheet metal?

Here is the link to the Ebay posting:

The sheet metal has quite a bit of rust. The front floors were redone and on Ebay I posted a list of items that were worked on. I used it as my daily driver until I just bought a small Honda. It's a great truck.

The 63/65 issue is due to different id numbers for the frame and the engine. I don't exactly understand the issue. The title is clear but apparently it might be possible to register the truck under a bond title instead and then sell the other title/VIN. I have no clue what or how this works or is about. I was told this was somehow possible, may be I blew it when I registered the truck normally. No idea.

Just for fun here is the link to the story of driving the truck home from SLC, UT to Colorado:

Yes, until further notice. A deposit has been paid and we'll see how it goes. There are seconds and thirds in line already.
