I know I am not a frequent poster, but some of you may remember that my 60 was stolen a few months back...incredibly, I received a call that the police had located it! they called at 4:30 am Sunday morning and informed me that if I could get down to its location within the hour they wouldn't have to tow it. I was there in about 15 minutes. Turned out the cop was an admirer of old landcruisers and simply wanted to help me out without the added costs of towing, and impound. Very cool.
All in all the truck was in amazing shape. Not a single dent or broken lock. All sheet metal is perfect. However I have nothing of value left inside the car, one flat tire, and some engine work...but things are all good. I spent the day today working it out, and I got the old girl started up and she sounded great. leaks some serious oil, but nothing a rear main cant stop. I am still leaning to replacing it with a sbc 350. but thats some time away.
I am really happy to have it back, and my kids are VERY happy to have her back in time for camping season.
just thought I would share the news!
