Yes, I feel very lucky to have it. I drove to Fla to get "Manfredi's" and then last month a trip to the great white north for a Canadian experiment"Rusty" and finally picked up Dave's very stock and a good match for my shortbed. The best part of all the acquisitions is I have met some great guys and all have been straight up honest with the transactions.....can't believe there could be another group of owners as good as cruiser owners. Sure don't run in to them in my business(real estate).....no, I may not be "THE Landpimp', but I'm another one.

8 45s in Wilson. Incredible!

I'm already on the hunt for another elusive FJ 45. Within moments of seeing my old 45 going down the road I knew I would try to find one again. Dukes is a great guy, he also was very straight forward. The cruiser world is and has been an outstanding place to meet new friends, that share a common interest of restoring the Toyota Land Cruisers. It is truly a small world, I have to plan a trip to Wyoming soon. Dave

frame # 3-FJ45-13202 1963 on firewall tag plus a few more pics has an oil and charge idiot light, not gauge.

 

[treerootCO]

yep, '63. Did anyone else notice the original Dunlop RK3 spare tire? I'm moving to MT if the owner is an attractive 29, or so, yr old female

At least one of the rear tires is also an original tire

 

[Landpimp]

63 was the last year for the fixed hard top, it might also have the fixed(welded, one piece NO way to ever fold it dow) front window/cowl......cant tell without a front pic.

is a 1965 fj45 that is totaly rusted but runs and only has 58K orig. miles worth $500.00? guy says he still uses the truck to plow on his farm, but the body is totally rusted according to him. something about a blue flame engine, which was orig. from toyo. don't know much more than that, but it sounds like a project, which of course they all are.

 

[Landpimp]

well its prolly is worth it......if your up to the task

no a blue flame 6 was not a Toyota motor, but the F motor is similar to the chevy stovebolt 6......which I suspect is what he means

pic of the 45

here is a pic of the 45 i can buy for $500.00 plus shipping which will cost me about $700.00 min. he has the bed, the bottom is gone, but he says the sides are there.

 

[bull]

Wow! I'm sure buck-row-so could revive it!! It has been used and abused...does he have a title for it etc?

advice: Depends on how much of a project you want, to me that is extreme..

 

[merbesfield]

he says he has the title if he could find it, and he assumes he could find it.
