I have a friend interested in this truck (1975 FJ40)

Does anyone know anything about this particular truck?

My knowledge of the 40's is very limited but a quick tutorial would be appreciated.

1975 Toyota Landcruiser FJ40

Thanks,
Scott

Rust is the enemy, the front fenders are easy to replace and don't cost all that much.
Tub rusts around the rear wheelwells, back corners, sill under the back door.
Frame fills with mud and rusts from the inside out. Check around the spring hangers for
the rear springs. (thats where mine cracked)
Hard to tell from the pics but it doesn't look to bad.

According to his other craigslist ads, that cruiser has been sold.

Definitely worth asking the question.

Thanks for the heads up, I'll keep this mind while we search.
