Did it

I didn't think so either, huh. Weird.

Nice job. Looks tidy. Unconventional, but I love the choice of oxblood for the upholstery. Particularly love that the floors aren't all goo'ed up with rhino liner and etc. If it runs good, it's worth the $. GLWS

COME OUT THIS SUNDAY 10/29 to check this build out in person.. and bring your rig to show off...

I didn't think so either, huh. Weird.

not 100% sure this 78' came with an original bench seat, however the flooring where the bolts thread in line-up exactly where the bench legs went .. so I was assuming it was totally original. I may be wrong. But I prefer the bench seat over bucket.

 

[rorkis]

I have never seen an original US spec 78 with a bench seat? By no means does that mean Toyota did not do it. Just curious...anyone else seen one with a bench seat?

@Sputnik40 If you run across a truck like this being advertised for $10-$15K, send it my way! Seriously, I'd buy more than one.

Case in point, I was at a Cars and Coffee event yesterday in South Carolina so not Cali talking with a Mud member about his truck. A dream rig. 1980FJ40, newly painted, lifted, power steering, 2F 4 Speed newly installed vintage air, engine compartment detailed (with the exception of the block itself which he plans to paint). The thing was stunning. Drawing a crowd. Were talking later and he says he had $25K or so into it and said if he sold it he thought he might get $15-16K. I tried to buy it on the spot as another member hurled a $20K offer over the top. It is probably worth twice that. He's not selling.

For Mud being the utmost authority on Landcruisers, I am pretty amazed at how badly members undervalue what these trucks have become worth. Maybe it's more about insulting outsiders who try to sell their trucks here or maybe it's if we say it enough we may make it a reality. I don't know, but it is bizarre.

Fuel Well Moto, it looks like you joined the site specifically to sell this vehicle which is kind of a bummer, but I am glad you brought it here because if a Mud member buys it, that's another cruiser that will be truly appreciated by its owner. Regardless of who you sell it to, please make sure and let us know what you get.

Just looked at the eBay pics. The gauge cluster is in KM/HR. Clearly not a US gauge cluster / truck. The only 78s I have seen with a bench seat are non US trucks and that is why I asked.

As for the price on these things. They appear to be all over the board. The non US stuff and the fact that the firewall is not the same color as the rest of the truck are cons. If this was a clear US truck and the resto included the paint all through the truck (engine compartment) 33K would be within range in my opinion. I guess I would be asking more questions in this price range. Why was the firewall / engine compartment not painted? Spent a great deal of time on everything else? In any case it should make someone happy. Good Luck with the sale.
