If you say so...
I'm planning on taking the chrome thing above the license plate off, fixing the holes and then coating it too. I think it should look good.
Wow dude! I just read your entire thread, good work man. Did you get your steering straight? It's amazing how much work it takes to fix up an old car.

Not really, I couldnt get the drag link loosened so I just did it in the steering wheel. It threw off the turn signal stop a little but it works for now.
Great Job Dude!
Happy to find this thread, am on Long Island, have had my LC off the road for 5 years and have replaced the frame and finally am making real headway on getting back to driving conditon. Had frame sandblasted by a pro, coated with zinc heavy primer and black painted. I boxed in the rear frame rails, modified the tire carrier, blew out the insides of the frame and sprayed POR 15 inside with a shutz gun with a long plastic wand. Aksed 15 of my hockey buddies to come over and move body from one frame to the other, only issue was some upper body mounts are a little iffy, I think owing to change in frame around '85. My FJ is '86 but I think frame is about '84. Almost done assembling engine. mechanicals and major body rust are next! Would love to post pictures but this is my first post here and I am not sure how to use all the bells and whistles.
Awesome job Landcruiser60, in one of my favorite states VT!

Thanks. Sounds like a cool build, you should start a thread and post it up. I'm fairly certain the only thing that changed on the frames were tranny mounts and engine mounts (only on the FJ62 frames) The body mount locations are all the same. I used an FJ62 frame and all the body locations are the same.
nice work!

Thanks, every once in a while I read through the thread again. Makes me miss it a little.

Only if I can beat up the beat
How bads the rust? The frame swap really isnt that hard. I bet you could handle it.
Pretty impressive stuff. congrats.

If you need the help, I wouldn't mind coming up. I originally bought my truck in Verona which is pretty close to you. I hope you have a shop or at least a garage.
Thanks man...I will keep you posted. I do have a garage, however it is only a one car garage. I have a torch, so the body mount bolts would be history fast!

With such a nice paint job (seemingly) you would have thought the po would have addressed the rust issues
