I picked up this 1981 FJ60 for super cheap locally ($1200). I originally was going to part it out so that I could keep the transfer case, trans, and engine for a restoration I am doing. It runs well and has a nice conferr roof rack I wanted. Then I started thinking that this might be a good candidate for a diesel conversion. It has 157k on it. Runs well. Clean frame. Clean title. Never a East coast rig. Always PNW
Bad parts: rear deck upper and lower are bad (found parts in junk yard). Drivers fender bad (junk yard). rear fender lips are bad also. I checked inside the rear fenders and there are some holes there also.
Here are some photos. Please share your thoughts on this FJ60. I could care less either way as I know I can find a cleaner 60 if I keep looking. I can part this out if the consensus is that it would be too much work and $$ to make a diesel truck.
