A true testimonial to you @JasonH is that I didn’t have to undo anything you did to “someone else’s truck”
The trick now is to research what to do next on the surface. I’m 99% sure there will be no clear coat. Ceramics are likely the best methods.
I’m way more motivated to protect the Goat than I have ever been with Patina. 40’s are still 40’s but a US FJ45 is a gem that needs to be protected.

Thanks for that Peter....I finally looked at that video on a computer which led me down the warren hole of You Tube and Boiled Linseed Oil on Patina metal. I actually think it is a good idea. I saw a lot of info on it with very little downside. I may try it on my FJ40 first.......
I’ve got horrible humidity here but it is covered on all sides. I’m OK with it.
My 40 is in similar shape and it seems to be holding up good in my shop.
One thing I screwed up on was the bumpers. I used the same towel I was using to wipe the CLR off with to dry my bumpers before I sealed them with Rust Converter.
After I treated them they came back with a white color all in the treated metal. I’ve used about 40 cans of this stuff and it’s the only time this has happened.
My fault. Gonna pick up some satin black and just paint it.

Excuse the noob question, but what are those two 90* bars behind the bumper?
Try 0000 steel wool first. I suspect it just hazing possibly from humidity.
