Hello everyone. I bought a 1967 FJ 40 two years ago as a father/son project for my now 19 year old son, Liam. It had already been a father/son project in the early 1990's when they replaced the original warn out engine with a carbureted 350 Chevy. They also installed a 1976 LC 4spd trans and transfer case. The body has some rust throughs in the usual areas, but can be dealt with. It was a complete LC with a hardtop, lots of SOR stuff, nicely done half Doors, Warn winch..... It is now torn down and getting it ready for the rotisserie. Another car buddy of mine gave my son a 1988 Corvette with a Tune Port Injection 350 and 700R4 transmission to replace the carbureted 350 and 4spd.
Along the way, I also bought another partial FJ 40, a '69 that was in pieces and was going to be made into a rock crawler. It came with a tub, frame, couple of extra front and rear axles, the original engine and a couple of 3spd trans and transfer cases. I initially bought this for the tub to replace the rusted one on the '67. With the '67 tub being repairable, I'm having second thought about using the '69 tub. At any rate, we have our hands full for a couple of years and will be looking forward to the information and experience found at IH8MUD.
