After years of looking and never finding an FJ55 with the price vs project involvement I wanted, I landed one close to home. It’s a 1969 and was shipped from Idaho two years ago. The owner changed directions and I think I scored a nice pig. It has been converted to a 350 motor, 350 TD auto transmission, Ford 9” rear end and has a Toyota transfer case/front. Also it has power steering, four wheel power disk brakes, high flow radiator, new exhaust and other upgrades. The bottom is solid so I plan to spray rust inhibitor/ converter underneath and replace the drivers side rocker outer skin and drivers side lower fender and take care of a few other smaller body issues. I’m going to drive it, not make it a museum piece and I plan to find several items such as exterior and interior emblems as it has none, missing dash pieces, passenger side air input duct tube, windshield washer spray head…on and on with little things. Hopefully members can direct me to wear to find such parts.
