good bye to the '73

[Thornton]

Just to let you guys know that the work on Josh's 40 is going to come to an end and we're going to be liquidating the majority of the parts. He called today and told me that it was time to let it go. I'll be listing it in the parting out section on mud in a few days or in my case a few weeks. A couple things that someone may be interested in is a SM465, sprung over front and rear with 4.88's and lockers. Front end has been overhauled needs brakes on both frint and rear. Rear was going to have a disc conversion. I need to work on putting some prices together.

I would be interested in an canister type air filter.

Might need to talk to you about the rear disc.

Did it happen to have a late model hood? (fingers crossed)

 

[Thornton]

Stump,

It's a stock '73 hood, not too sure what the differance is other than the windshield bumpers. It's not a split hood like my '71

stump, i have a late model hood if you need one. It has a little rust damage on the front though where the PPO "fixed" it with some fiberglass. the lip on the bottom side. the top side looks decent.

Sam,
It looks like you can add the hood to my slowly growing pile of parts... It will give me the opportunity to decide which one is a better candidate for repair and I can run the other in the meantime. How much do you want for it? I don't want you to go through too much trouble but if you have a picture of the front and lip that would be nice. I'm not worried about welding and sheet metal repair, just want to know want to expect.
Tom,
Thanks for getting back so quick, I have an illogical preference for the late model hood to go with my '81 FJ40.

what is the frame like?

clear tittle?

 

[Thornton]

frame is good, center cross member will need to be rewelded, it was cut out due to sm465 going in with adapter. I'll have to go by dmv and get a duplicate title and also have matching vin plates

 

[jhaha]

Is the front housing cut/turned? If so I might take that. Keep me in the loop!
