Just another Fj40 V8 build

[springscruiser]

My neighbor died and I inherited this ugly jeep looking thing. I just happened to send some photos of it to my friend who is into 4x4s. Come to find out it's a 1975 landcrusier that had a 305 v8 conversion done. After researching landcruisers I have quickly become addicted. The 305 was near death so I pulled it out and I am now rebuilding a 350. I pulled the top off, all doors and seats. I have been sanding her for days. Here are some photos.

That looks like it will be a very clean cruiser once it's freshened up. Good luck on the resto, it will be worth it!

My 77 had that same pimped out pin stripe package on it back in the 70's . I found it under several paint jobs. Nobody bothered to remove the vinyl before they painted.

That looks like a great project and at the perfect price (free).

It doesn't appear to be in too bad of shape for a Denver rig, swap your front brakes to discs if they aren't already and get ready to open your wallet.......


Welcome......

It looks to have a Mini-Truck t-case in it. What rear axle did he have in it?

Yes I lucked out with this landcrusier. Minimal rust, minor dings and dents. Im modifying my old 99 trooper seats to fit in and having the backseats redone. Everything is getting prepped for paint. Im going all black.

Here are some pics of the axles. Can someone identify them for me.
