Hello everyone. I recently acquired an April 1970 built fj40. The previous owners have done the tasteful mods to keep it trail, and road worthy. Leaf springs, distributor, carburetor, exhaust header, power steering. Has a GM tilt column. 3spd shifter moved to the floor. The body has been painted with bedliner two different times. I'm going to start stripping liner from the doors first, and go from there. Disc brakes are also next. Tires are 285/75R16. I'm looking forward to being a part of the forum.

Thanks Green Bean. It's nice to be the next owner in this little truck's life.

I'm "H" on the title, I knew the guy I bought it from. That was over 40 years ago, how time flies.

No. I'm the 8th (H) owner of mine. I got it from my friend Jack (7th "G") owner with like 62,000 on the clock back in 1982. Jack had it for like a year plus and had put about 2,000 miles on it. He did the carb and dizzy change plus put on the 76 hardtop.

Anyone who would paint a classic vehicle with bed liner should have a frontal lobotomy. Glad to see you’re taking care of it. Welcome to the mudness…..

Looks like a great start on a cool truck.
