Hey Guys,
I’m 3 years into my FJ60 Build. Just as some back story, I grew up in FJ’s as a kid; well Land Cruisers and SR5’s.
Anyway, I picked this beauty up about two years ago. She’s an 83 FJ60 wagon with 172K on the dash. Motor, Trans and gear box was strong. The Chassis and frame however, another story.
Like many Classic Toyota’s, my FJ60 (respectfully named Saint Bernard), had some serious rust. The rust in my case was a marriage of over 20 years of weather, and a previous owner who was a salt water fishermen. (
tell me about it).
Here’s what’s been done so far:
New Frame/Chassis from Classic Cruisers (Tell Craig Peter from NYC sent you)
Old Man Emu Lift Kit, Heavy Duty 2.5 inch lift.
New Brakes, Brake Lines, Gas Lines
Bushings, U-Bolts, Shackles and bolts
Clutch
Full Tune-Up
New Alternator
Rebuilt Starter
New Coil
Ran new electric cables and wires
As we are made good progress with the new chassis sandblasted, painted and weather proofed; I now need the following parts:
Need:
Right Side Brake Line
New Body Bushings, 12 in total
Muffler Brackets/ Bushings
Tire Bracket for the undercarriage
Pick Up Distributor Coil
Body Nuts and bolts
I have an aftermarket Holly Carb, it came with the truck... I may get it rebuilt.
I have the stock distributor, but by buddy on IG who suggested this thread; also mentioned getting an aftermarket distributor from Performance Distribution in Detroit.
If you guys have any resources, ideas or the parts I need, I am very interested! She should be done in the spring and I’ll iodate you guys as the build comes along!
Thanks again guys, and remember... these aren’t just trucks, it’s apart of us! #IG @pierrybenjamin
