Hmmmm What Is Under The Tarp

[kkt]

Wonder what this could be?

 

[IDave]

1978 LWB. Is it diesel?

 

[2badfjs]

in "Three Stooges" form............"the back of the tarp"

 

[kkt]

The plot thickens

seems to be a project.

Well, we can tell its not being stored in a High-Security military facility. It dosen't appear to have wings, but the dual rear-projecting units extending from the side of what appears to be a door, are yet to be determined. It does, however, seem to have a well designed cockpit allowing decent visability for the operator. The craftsmanship of the exterior looks impressive! It obviously dosen't have wings. Can't tell anything about its system for propulsion, if even present. The mysterious blue cloud seems to be engulfing not only the front, it appears to have almost completely overtaken the entire rear of the vehicle with its rope-like tentacles extending over the highest part of the craft! One could only assume that it would be used for the transportation of a human, along with all of their equipment. The neutral color with the hint of natural-time produced camouflage would possibly allow it to remain undetected for quite some time, depending on its surroundings. Still can't quite figure it out...This could take some serious detective-work!

Is the frame broken? It looks too rust free to be an east coast truck for 40 years. I'd bet it came from way down south as in Central or South America.

Boy you canadians have a different version of rust free. Previous owner said that this truck came from texas and then to georgia. Not a central american truck because it has a heater. Frame is rusty not broken

I'm not saying rust free but certainly less rust than what I'd expect to see on the east coast. Out here on the west coast I wouldn't get out of bed to look at an FJ45 next door if it lived it's life on the east coast!

Out here if there is any east coast registrations on the title you can knock off 20-30% of the value.

The wind sheld frame looks older than 67? Good luck with build up.

 

[kkt]

motor number

the f motor number on this truck is F 314319. sor says this would be a 1969. but I think the truck is a 1967. frame number unreadable. suppose to be a texas truck that wound up on the east coast. can anyone tell buy the windshield frame, doors etc. I know the hood and fenders are later model.

Here is a shot of my 65 with the same frame

Bezel

Dang just noticed the bezel is upside down guess I need to take it back.
Anyone have any wisdom on the year, like I said the frame number is covered up by a weld and the motor number would be a 69 per sor.com

 

[bull]

Did you look under the hood for the frame tag...either on the firewall or passenger side inner fender hidden usually by the battery?

 

[kkt]

tag

yes I looked but nothing there. just the 4 holes where it use to be attached

 

[bull]

Take some shots of the interior if you can. Also look on the windshield wiper motor case. You might find a date of manufacture stamped on it someplace and if I had to guess it would be a 1966..

 

[fjwagon]

Check on the front side passenger frame by the bumper and see if it has a vin.....just a gues. It's a hell of a project.

 

[Landpimp]

if the window frame is original its a 65 or earlier

If I may be so bold, how much thinner is your wallet now?

Condition of drivetrain, brakes, etc.?

By the time all things are repaired I will not even have a wallet. Project is on hold for the time being too busy at work. I am a tax accountant and have no time to persue my cruiser addiction.
