Just thought I'd post some pics of my fj49. Picked it up yesterday about 150 miles form here. Most of that on gravel mountain roads.
Now the real cost & work begin.

indeed, what year model? '73

 

[FineWynsFJ40]

Dare I say an interestingly modified '71? or '74 model?

 

[Basserine]

It's a 74 but I don't know what happend to the turnsignals. Maybe a mutation?

didn't you know that all FJ 49's had the plastic rear window and rear fender mounted spare. That was all stock... J/k Congrats on the find and welcome to the addiction.

Looks like the rear factory taillights have been departed also.

What??? Never seen a straight 6 with duel pipes?

Well neither had I; 'till now.
Oh Ya, and the big bumper is just to test the front suspention.

I had a 69 F250 inline 6 with headers and dual exhaust (and glass packs). It had balls but sounded like a dirt bike. It was like that when I bought it.
