Gold Mine or Junk Yard?

[D'Animal]

So I went and picked up my seats from my buddy who I gave them to about 6 months ago. I talked into buying a bunch of early to mid 60's FJ 40's and he has done nothing with them, yet.


I'm getting the shorty running boards but the rest is probably going up for sale in the future.

No front turn signals, no Land Cruiser bezels, no early rear turn signals.

 

[D'Animal]

The tan rig is a 1964.

The Vin tag matches

Engine # F185898
Frame # 3 FJ40 20088

It has a rebuilt F that has never been fired up. The rochester carb looks kinda finny on there.

 

[D'Animal]

The engine looks like it is Ford Engine Blue.

I have never seen a thermostat neck like that. Uber Rare or a Jerry Rigged setup?

 

[D'Animal]

Black gauge cluster.

Windshield channel for the FST

 

[D'Animal]

Small window corrugated top with a flip up rear hatch. I assume the flip up was installed in place of the bi-fold.

 

[D'Animal]

The other top that he recently bought.

It is not for the High B pillar.

 

[D'Animal]

Another rig. This is a 1969 according to the Vin.

 

[D'Animal]

Running boards can be straightened.

Is this an Uber Rare heater housing?

It looks like the one that RockCod has in his 1964 FJ 45.

 

[D'Animal]

More parts stacked in the cargo area.


Hard doors, but not the slide up window type. There are a lot of top window frames for the doors. A few split hoods, etc.

 

[D'Animal]

The Blue Rig.

 

[D'Animal]

A bunch of little "Gibblet" type things.

 

[D'Animal]

Some weird soft doors.

The top hinge bolts to the windshield frame. The bottom pivot goes in a hole in the rocker panel.

In the bottom picture you can see the gap between the top of the door adn the hardtop. There are snaps on the front portion of the door like it would snap to the "A" pillar and the front cowl.

I have an exact set of theses door as well. Mine are black.

 

[D'Animal]

Did I mention that he has a set of mint condition Soft Top Bows as well?

Here are the soft doors.

 

[D'Animal]

This is the Top itself. It is made of a rubber like material that would remind you of a Zodiac boat rubber. It has twist clasp type holes for fastening it down.

Dan,

That is indeed the same heater housing I have in my 45. Nice find on those parts rigs. If you decide to part them I am in need of those windshield defroster deflectors for Snotz.

 

[D'Animal]

I noticed that you were missing the ducts in your windshield. I'm missing them in my 1964 as well. I have noticed a lot of peoples rigs are missing them.

I could probably borrow them if you knew someone who could reproduce them.


Think Awl_Teq could do it?

 

[Cruiser_Nerd]

Gold mine? Probably not, but some neat stuff regardless. Parts rich, cash poor.

Tony / Dan I probably have a set or two of those defrosters hanging around. Not much use on a 25.

 

[D'Animal]

Thanks for the offer, I would like to have a set for my 64 but I would rather see them go to someone who is going to use them to finish off a restoration.

My 62/63 doesn't need them and that is the one I'm going to restore.

any voltage regulators on any of those?
