FREE: Entire FJ40 project
OK, the time is here: I'm going to finally let my 40 go.
Here are the details. If you have questions, please feel free to email me at
aley@lechugilla.com.
'71 FJ40, in pieces. Theoretically enough parts to build a complete truck, although I'll guarantee that some of the nuts and bolts will be missing. Other minor parts may be missing as well (it's been moved several times since being disassembled), but fundamentally everything you need is there.
The body is mostly disassembled (except for the top, which is still together although not on the truck). It's the body style with a liftgate on the top and split lower doors on the tub, so you don't have to get a filler panel to run with the top down. The tub is off the frame and everything that can be unbolted from the tub is unbolted. It's got some rust in many of the usual areas (under the rear doors, the rocker panels, and some areas of the floor).
The frame is separate and has been sandblasted and painted. It's stock except for the lack of the factory shock towers. The frame is sitting on the springs and axles, although they're not properly bolted together at this point. The springs have had their wraps lengthened to allow more droop, and it's set up for a springover configuration, although the spring perches are not yet welded to the axles. Because of this, it would be easy to set it up as either springover or springunder.
It includes the '65 engine that was in it before I took it apart. Yep, if want the truck, you gotta take the engine.
There's also an SM420 transmission with good innards but a cracked case that goes with it.
It also includes all the ancillary parts that go with a 40 - turn signals, steering column, heater box, glovebox door, pedal assembly, master cylinders, 3-speed transmission with transfer case, minitruck disk brake front end, et cetera ad nauseum. As I said above, it includes basically everything required to build an FJ40. I'm unaware of any major parts that are missing.
It's just the thing if you want a project, or if you want lots of parts for your 40. Maybe you need a rust-free hardtop, or turn signals, or whatever. The catch is, you have to take all of it - no cherry-picking the parts and leaving me to haul off the rest.
The price? Free. Zero, zip, zilch, nada, nothing. Free. If you want it, you have to take care of the cost of transferring the title, and you'll have to haul it off, but you don't have to pay me anything for it. Email me (aley@lechugilla.com) and let me know you want it, and when you'd be available to come collect it. If I get multiple people requesting it, I'll pick one lucky soul to get it. Ideally I'd like it gone sooner rather than later, but I'm fairly flexible on when it goes.
I will ask, though, that if you ask for it, please be willing to commit to actually coming and picking it up when you say you will. It's hard enough to give this thing away once - I don't want to have to do it twice.
