Galvanized?

[VTFJ40]

I've seen 2 FJ45 wagons with galvanized bodies and almost all the paint peeled off. I know they don't rust but are these good or bad?

There was one for sale a while back and it didn't seem as high $ as some of the wagons I've seen. Just wondering if the galvy was the reason?

Post up a pic of a galv. 45 wagon body please....

This one was for sale on SOR awhile back-

and I've seen one in a junkyard with the frame rotted out from underneath it.

Where in northern VT are you?

Did the 45 inthe junkyard say "pomfret vol fire dept" on the side?

I've been looking for that one to get a pic for the 45 registry.
It was in a new haven field forever, then it was gone when I went to look for it, he did not know which yard took it.

If it is the same one, it was ROUGH.

I live in Waterville, but I work half the month in the DC metro area. Just a 10 hour comute.

The wagon was in peru NY and he had sold the body when I went back. There was also a couple 55s in there.

There's somebody down your way that has a bunch of yota stuff but I haven't gotten down there yet. He's supposed to have a lot of volvo stuff too. It probably wound up there.

Odd. I thought I knew most of the yards around here.

Do you know which one? Maybe the Wire WHeel in middlebury?

I guess I will be driving around in the spring looking for yards.

I find little pockets of junk (can't really call them yards), all over. Especially up here and in the kingdom. I do alot of backroads driving for work and see all kinds of hidden treasures. The bigger ones are picked over pretty good, but the little guys don't know what they have.

I haven't ventured over the border yet but I hear the frogs got quite a few of them up there. I was told there's a big one past Montreal on the other side of the river that's got alot of toyo stuff, but I haven't been able to confirm it. Might be one of those ghost fj yards.

I am in for a road trip if you want.

Do you speak french? I heard it helps. Maybe Froggy can help us out.

Piss poor paint prep or poor quality paint does not mean that it is galvanized....

Thanks for that pic John!


That guy must have not paid for the Toyota Galvanized Body Option....

That guy on SOR advertised it as galvanized or "galvaneeled" or some s***.

The one I saw at the jyard looked galvanized up close. Had barely any paint on it and only rust where the galvy was scratched.
