im a friend of bandy rooster, lowtideride, and met wayneraintree but anyways...ive always liked cruisers, and a few weeks ago i mentioned it would be sweet to get a rusty 40, and build a buggy, last week, i heard about a free cruiser, some guy found it, wanted the axles, and said we could have the rest, it was abandoned in a yard at a trailer park, so since i had a set of 79 axles layin around, i gave him them, and i took the whole truck
so after $75 in gas, and a day trip to bovina center, ny, i now have a 72 fj40, im not really gonna use much of it since itll be a buggy, but here's whats happening/what my plan is....the axles are going under my brother's zuk, bandy is taking a bunch of stuff, the springs, the top, the frame, door parts, maybe the jump seats, and who knows what else, so all im left with is a rusted out body, an f engine, 3spd tranny, and tcase
so here's my list of ideas so far
dovetail rear to get rid of rust and do a lot of other chopping
build a completely new tube frame, cage, etc...
run a 22re/5spd/dual cases
dana 60 rear, 44 front(free axles)
-let me know what you think/ideas/opinions/whatever, good or bad, i wanna hear it, im excited to start this buildup...now i just gotta find some $$ for it
