Look at this.

I bet it fires right up with a good spark and fuel.

Let us know!

Found these in the back. ....And it fired it with the same old fuel in it. Just added water..Amazing

Are those hubs?
Looks fairly rust free for a 62 thats been out in the weather.
Great find, the last FJ40 I found sitting behind a house there wasn't a floor board in the thing.

Ya there locking hubs. I found them in the back in the Warn boxes
I also found Specter and Man a Fre catalogs from way back. Too Cool

Neil, treeroot's got a thread in this forum with old Motor Trend photos in it. If you look closely, the rig in the pic has the same hubs.

Imagine that!;p

I will bring my 40 to Dusy if Ross will let me.

 

[nuclearlemon]

sweet score

 

[honk]

Is the original bumper and tail lights under that bumper? It looks like the newer bumper is on right over the original bumpettes.

 

[Silicon 70]

Nice score, you even have manuals with it. Thats' a 2 for 1 deal I even like how your rig sits, but I'm not a big fan of the front bumper.

 

[Cruiser_Nerd]

Notice anything odd about that gas cap? How about that air intake in the apron? You've got a pretty early '61. What's the VIN? Take a shot at the Oldest FJ40 Thread

And throw those Husky hubs far, far away.............there's a reason that design didn't survive.

 

[Hulk]

Awesome find! I gotta start getting out exploring so I can find an ancient rig like this.

 

[General Sherman]

Vin # 1FJ4010451
Has the Extra Large fuel filler
Air intake in the apron but it's missing the stock Air Cleaner assembly

Anyone ever seen this ELECTRIC Fuel Pump

We may need to share notes, nice find.

Yes the original bumper is there. Previous owner put a piece of diamod plate on top of the bumperette's. Not sure if the lights that are there are original or not

White speedo too!! ya, you need to get that intake working again. Hunt down the correct air filter and get an intake hose from Cruiser_nerd. Ditch the spin off oil filter too. Get a used canister filter from someone. The electric pump isnt stock. Ditch it and get a Kyosan

 

[Cruiser_Nerd]

Only 200 after the ones posted in the other thread, you've got an old one. Another vote for keeping it stock, you've got a lot of the hard to find stuff.

 

[treerootCO]

keep that one stock - great find

 

[honk]

That pump is real old aftermarket. I found one that looked just like it on a '53 Chevy convertible we were restoring. The one we had ran on 6 volts, and at the bottom of that label was a smaller label with a maker's name. Don't remember the name but I'd never heard of it.

 

[McClaskey]

awesome ... cool find...

Mike, got a pic of the correct vintage air cleaner? I've got this ONE air cleaner assembly that I'm not sure about. IIRC, it's several inches shorter from the can end to the carb end, and the tube that connects them is smoother than the typical oil bath ones on my 64 and 65. Would that be it?
