future shop truck project

[orangefj45]

no, i am not kidding but thereis more to the story. i'll let you guys throw out some guesses before i give up more info!

 

[65-fj45]

I guess 4door short box, 2 1/2ton axles with 53" tires. Just a guess

 

[poor boy pulling]

ya i like that idea, four wheel steering maybe?

 

[tornadoalleycruiser]

are we supposed to guess what happened to it or what it's plans are?
my guess as to what happened? you locked a case of fosters in it and toploader was thirsty..

 

[greenfox]

I know I know!



















































But I cant tell you

 

[orangefj45]

yeah, toploader got thirsty!

keep guessing homies!

Use the frame, add a 45 cab and build a flatbed????

 

[fogblanket]

seeing how the top is gone you are going to morph a westfalia pop top onto it and keep the fj45 front end while sliding a 6.1 l dieselinto and ofcourse painting it orange....

Fill it with hay and raise bunnies in it????? Throw a drive train and roll cage and like it like that?

you're pretty close mike!

 

[friel01]

maybe

how bout a dump truck? 45 cab and big hydrolic bed.

Tow Truck project?

 

[orangefj45]

nope, not really. i might tow the jet skies to the lake but thast's about it. really just intended as a shop truck for parts runs and such.

Seeing as Georg's got a troopie in the stable now, I'm thinkin he's in 'long' mode. I say he cuts a 40 tub downinto an extracab 45 to drop on the frame with a flatbed.

 

[orangefj45]

mark's even closer than mike.

yup, it's gonna be a 45 x-cab. i bought a friend's project (my buddy B) and will be turning it into the shop truck. i got the LV frame from Bman one here. now it turns out that i want quite a bit more wheel base so i might try to stretch the wheel base on the LV chassis. otherwise i'll end up having to lengthen a 40 frame. and i just gave away the only one i had........

thought i had some pics of the body when i had it on the trailer but i can't find em. next time i roll the chassis out of my garage i'll take som more.

george i have a fj55 frame with springs if you want to use it

 

[orangefj45]

thanks for the offer dave. would you be willing to part with just the rear springs?!

 

[66LV]

yes george you can have the rear springs.

 

[orangefj45]
