that look so nice....

 

[kellyo]

That looks outstanding. Congrats. Sure you don't want to sell to some sap like me.

 

[thsorens]

Very nice! Too nice to take offroad really. Good find!

the badge on the P/s is missing yes....gotta get a replacement. It looks like the front/cab has been painted since, but it's definitely all metal. There is some serious undercoating on this thing, but I just couldn't believe how clean the running boards were when i saw it.

I started it up, was parked in a garage/barn for the past 3 years. Previous owner passed away so his wife sold it to me.

It was only winter driven for a couple seasons so I'm a bit nervous, it's going to be my daily driver up here and amount of salt they use on the roads when it snows...yikes!

thinking about just putting this in a big bubble and pushing it around town.

thanks again for all the comments!

1st: very nice rig...
2nd: it needs nothing...
don't do anything to it...(except for the new badges )...
3rd: keep it stock

Last...GET IT OIL UNDERCOATED!!!!!!

 

[umomo]

hey johnnyC, thanks,
yeah, lots of oil undercoating will be the trick i think. also carwash everytime i drive it in the salt. You're in albany so you must get some snow/salt there?

No serious off-roading for me until the summer. I'll probably install my extra winch in the bed so i can pull logs and stuff into it, but this baby is probably going to be 90% city driven w/ the exception of going hunting for fallen trees....

Nice ride dude!

 

[camcruiser13]

sweeet

Very nice looking truck. I think the price is great too. I am not sure if that is a stock colour though.

Now get yourself a star and show us more.

And welcome to the club.

Where are you in Toronto? I'm in East York.

PM me when you get your truck, I would love to see it and talk trucks. I'm in the process restoring a 78 pickup right now, would love to get some photos and up close and personal of what I am working towards (my truck is pretty much still a basket case)

Great find.

Cheers

These things rust if they even look at salt and moisture! I don't even drive my self painted spring over offroader in the salt! I would be very careful with that one! I like the bubble idea!

 

[nicksfj-40]

Awesome. I want one....

 

[Hugh Heifer]

I hate you with all the green envy my body can muster. A real cherry there!

 

[Hogan]

Sweeeeeeeeet! nice score

 

[blueflame]

Still can't get over how clean that one looks. Only 1 mod I would consider is maybe some original hub caps.

 

[Silicon 70]

Timecapsule indeed. That is one of the cleanest rigs I've seen. Can you take more photos?

 

[Herbo]

Nice ride! I think $13,500 Cnd is reasonable as I paid $13,900 Cnd for my 78/45 in Dec. and yours looks nicer. Not Fair
Post a photo in the FJ45 Owner's Club corner.
Congrats.

 

[Jake40]

wow that thing is beautiful... nice score

 

[40Flipper]

Sweet! The original bed in that condition alone is worth it all. Please don't chop it up and stuff a chevy in it. Won't take much to get it on the road even though it's been sitting a while. Quick tune up and you're good to go!

Paying in Canadian dollars is a huge bonus.....it's like Monopoly money. God bless the 51st state!!
