rust
the rust in the rear quarters doesn't scare you? Is there a replacement panel for the rear quarters. I have owned a pig before, but it was in pretty good shape, and i did not have mud as a reference. If I get it I will cut out the rockers and replace with sliders, and will do the same with the rear quarters if I cannot find replacement panels. what suggestions do you have? thanks

suggestion 1: BUY IT 2: Deal with the rest later
That is a good bit of rust and the rust is always 2X or more worse than what you see.
It is worth $250 for parts.

I agree with the others, $250 absolutely even if just for parts!
My '55 was not much better when I got it so it is salvageable. This is the story of my '55's transformation from non-runner destined for the crusher to a truck that can and had driven across the continent https://forum.ih8mud.com/fj55-iron-...972-september-potm-cruiser-guy-guatemala.html

buy it... good deal
Hehe, I didn't think anyone would find that pig. I've gone past it before, but I never got in touch with the owner. I was planning on talking to him someday. He really only wants $250? If you got the space to keep it, its worth it.
no more rust on that than most pigs on the street. put in a powertrain and wheel the crap out of it.

Are the drive lines in a 55 the same as a 60? The vehicle has no drive lines, and I have a set from a 60. Also it needs a radiator. Where can I get a radiator for it? Also I read all the posts I could find on replacing the rear quarters, but could not find if someone sold them. I am going to trim them with the rockers, but the rust goes further up than what I was going to trim. Are the motor mounts for the fj55 2f the same as the fj60 2f? thanks for the help.
drivelines are different, watch your yoke flange patterns and the length. iirc, the 60 rear shaft is longer, which is cheap to shorten, so it's still a good choice. not sure about the front.
for the rockers, you can trim all the way up and weld in rectangular stock (there are a few posts here, check em out, they will inspire you).
for the quarters, that's being discussed in the pig parts group, so be patient.

Dude just buy it already.
any piggy is worth saving GO BUY IT
Buy it....it's a steal. Rhino put a engine, trans and split transfer case out of a ~84 60 into my 76 piggie before I purchased from him. Shoot him a PM about it, he'll help you out.
