Glistening like a supermodel slathered with tanning oil...

Can anyone tell me what the actual Toyota red color is for my 1967 FJ45?

Solar Red? Never heard of that. I always assumed it was Freeborn Red but I was told that was not around until the 70s

I always thought the early red was Seminole…?

What year is that color board?

 

[daniel.watters]

Not sure. It’s a generic photo. Could have sworn I’d seen it in an early / mid sixties Toy Paint Chip.

The Import Archive shows three colors for '68 for Land Cruisers:

Freeborn is obviously the most common and I'm familiar with Seminole, but hadn't heard of Muleta before.

Doing some pad work to extend my shop and was too close to the silo. The legs were dug in good so I used my Pro Eagle to jack up each leg and the 8274 to drag it 5’ over.


This would have been a great use ou all of those drum brakes I just gave a guy to sink his fish nests in his lake

 

[Lifelong40Fan]

Perfect use of drum brake hubs. I use my collection to hold down plastic over important parts.

I know I’m late to the party on this but I believe your ‘67 should have been Seminole Red. That’s what Johns SWB I painted was. I had it matched off some nicely preserved original paint so I have a paint formula if needed. I’ve had some original paint Freeborns in the shop and Seminoles and to me the Seminole is a deeper more rich red vs the brighter Freeborn.

This is my mid 60s paint chip card. Note the colors appear much darker in the picture than real life.

Here is an original paint ‘68 Seminole in the shop currently.

Man that’s a fine survivor

It’s a real gem, a time capsule really. It’s here getting the wngrog treatment

New compressor in an old truck

 

[Andrew S]

Hopefully you have better luck with that compressor, I've had two die at work, each only a few years old.

Have always liked IR, but now days, who really manufactures it?? Have a 30 year old IR impact wrench still going strong!! Compressors need proper voltage and a good water separator to live a long life!!
