Hi guys, I put some work into this truck and updated the listing.
It's been a couple years since I got this truck back on the road, but I think it's time to pass it along since I'm buying a house and need to thin the herd a bit! Currently registered and insured in California. Pricing to sell as is at $7,500. It's a great foundation for a restoration project, but be forewarned, it has a good deal of body rust. For those of you that appreciate patina (this is the truck that started the Patina Appreciation Thread Patina Appreciation: Show Us Your Rusty Land Cruiser! ), this is one of the coolest out there – though I'm a bit biased. It may also be a great truck for a tub replacement and still be worth the price of admission.

- It was a farm truck in Ohio, which I purchased off of ebay from @dlzadl. Here's a thread about that on Mud Just bought on ebay: 1964 FJ40 FST
- I towed it back to California in late-2016 and got it back up and running about a year later.
- I drove it around town just enough to get some of the gremlins out, but never replaced the original tires, so didn't put any highway miles on it.
- It's been converted to a floor shift at some point in its life.
- It's been sitting in my garage space in (dry) southern California, only being used as a reference for my other frame-off restoration project – so I think it's a bit silly to hang on to it.
- I recently added a windshield and wiper motors/wipers. I'll be adding a used 4-core aluminum radiator soon. It needs a passenger-side seat belt.
- Replaced all brake parts: all steel lines and soft lines, all wheel cylinders, master cylinder, shoes, parking brake cable, parking brake shoes
- Re-wired, replaced, re-tested, and got every switch, light, and gauge (except for the old burnt out ammeter) working.
- New radiator hoses, new belts, new plugs, new clutch slave and master.
- New headlights and turn signals
- New distributor
- New coil
- New battery
- refreshed carb (small window version)

. There’s no doors, no windshield, or hardtop or roll bar. The sill & ass end looks like it may fall off if you go over 25 mph 
. I wouldn’t feel comfortable going over 10 mph around the block. Getting on the highway in the dirtbag is a death wish for sure.
