77 FJ 40 Diesel Conversion For Sale - Kingston Ontario Canada
Hello
I think that it is best to describe the truck ia by telling the story about how it came to be. This truck started its life in California as an FJ40 (2F, 4 speed, and soft-top). It was driven from California to New Brunswick, Canada where it was abandoned. When I came across this truck (owned by a friend) it was not completely assembled; however, it had the best sheet metal that I had ever seen on a Land Cruiser. I was fortunate enough to acquire this truck and assembled the truck as follows:
All of the body work is factory original 1977 FJ40 Land Cruiser. The body has been repainted; however, it has never been restored. Therefore, what you see is what you get. No surprises. According to the odometer, the mileage on the body is about 76 000 miles. (Could be 176 k, there is no way to be sure).
Because I wanted a Diesel LC, I found a recently wrecked 1983 BJ60 (3B 3.4 L, 5 speed and split case with approx 131 k). These parts swapped into the 77 without any modification of the mounts, frame, or other components. Because it was my intention to turbo charge the engine, I also installed Geoff Walsh high-nickel cylinder head.
From the front:
Bumper/bull guard – ARB
Winch – Mile Marker 12500 lb hydraulic
Front shackle-reversal kit – Man-a-Fre
Two batteries (12 volt system) – both less than 1 year old (CTC Eliminator)

Custom roll cage (full family cage)
Comes with soft-top, soft doors, bikini top, and older OE tailgate (needs some work)
Park brake conversion kit – Man-a-Fre
Spring-over-axle conversion for rear suspension
33 x 12.5 Interco Trxus tires on American Racing wheels. This includes the spare, and they have less than 5000 km on them.
The interior is OE and complete except for the headliner and floor mat.
All seats, including the rear jump seats, have been reupholstered with marine vinyl in the original appearance pattern and piping.
I am asking $13 800 CDN
I will try to attach pictures ...
I am located in Kingston, Ontario, Canada, which is about 2 hours north of Syracuse NY.
I hope that this information helps. I am motivated to sell the truck, and I would be happy to answer any questions or consider any offers. Please email me at
