I remember when solid meant solid. Apparently it means clapped out in this new era

It sold last week. I spoke with the seller the night before it was picked up.

Apparently the seller was a one and done flipper.

He joined mud to sell this and posted on his profile, not this for sale thread, that it sold on Wednesday.

I was the one who purchased this one It's a very low-rust body and legit 88k mile original. The PO owned since 1988. The truck had been sitting for long time. It originally was sold in CO, went to Nevada in 1988 with PO and a few days ago came back to CO. I plan on investing a lot of time/money into it and want to daily drive it until perhaps going all in on a full restoration down the road. Until then, I'm going to enjoy the very awesome (IMO) patina and restore all mechanical/interior. I also scored a nice trailer in the deal. Sellers were great and were sad to see her go.

I think you bought a great truck. Surface rust is nothing. It adds to its character. I thought about buying this one myself. Good luck. Start a restoration forum for everyone to see.

I stand corrected. The seller was not a flipper. Glad it went to a good home.

nice work @yotadaydreamin !!

 

[Ocho77]

Such a sweet truck! Nice buy!

 

[S.CarolinaFZJ80]

I really like those dealer decals. Please find a way to preserve those while doing the patina restoration.

A good cleaning & polish, with painting the front bumper and rear crossmember along with adding some stock wheels, seat covers, door cards and a dash padwill transform this 40.

If you’re in Colorado Springs area definitely bring it out to a Colorado Land cruisers meeting. Great patina.
