Went to look at this on this morning and it wasnt the shining gem i had made it out to be in my head before arriving, but it still isnt the worst ive seen by far.

Frame seemed pretty solid. There were some plates added to the frame near the spring perches but i believe them to be for reinforcement as it was obviously carrying more than the stock capacities :D and not cover ups of rot as the rest of the frame looked pretty good. Inner hardtop liner was had some swiss cheese areas and the bottom seam behind drivers seat had rotted out. Its been repainted several times and actaully it is an FJ45 on a HJ45 chasis running w/ a H motor. Started and idled well. titled as a 78 but its got early doors and wipers and drum brakes all around. definately some cobbling going on w/ the custom springs and unique and indivual shackles, but not a lost cause either. What do you guys think? Anything look way out of the ordinary (yes yes the cattle carrier and the bezel im aware of) posted it in chat for some quick responses and mid day humor.

They both look really good. Buy them and don't look back.
 
Do it. Even the other half jib jabs me for letting the last one we saw in PA slip thru my fingers.
 
Buy em and be sure to flip the bezel as the bezel police are out again.
