My New 45 (1 Viewer)

Hi Guys
Here are some pic of my 45 I picked up a short while back. Pretty solid the last 13 years were spent in the Arizona desert. had an older resto and undercoated which helpd alot, A couple of spots the rust beatles are chewing at but very manageable. it sat for most of the 13 years so the usual brakes, fuel system updates. I got the 77 2F running, fuel is done, and working on the brakes cylinders close to done. It has a 77 FJ 40 donner, engine, trans, and front end. Looking forward to just driving it as I have finally got the dream I always wanted.

Glad you asked, the previous owner is an older gentleman and had many 40, 45 in his stable has been liquidating them as I understand this is one of the last and is keeping 2 40s that are pristine. I would love to learn more about the history, when I asked he said he didn't recollect and I left it at that, any help out there as to or the direction I need to go would be appreciated.

Looks like its 63, 64, or early 65. My early 65 came from Buckeye, AZ where it was sold new.
