New (old) addition to the stable

[S.CarolinaFZJ80]

Well, after along time wanting and a short time looking. I added a 3rd Cruiser to the stable and ensured years of exile to sleeping on the couch.

She's a 1979... Needs a little TLC but overall, she's a survivor. I need a few parts to make it 100% original.
Parts needed;
- air intake baffle assembly (from behind driver headlight to air cleaner housing)
- original radio
- tool kit
- owners manual (have a '76 manual, will trade for a '79)
- driver side seat belt (gray)
- rear jump seat seatbelts (gray)

Cool! Is yours a '79 Freeborn Red too?
Do you have a spare driver seatbelt in grey in your parts horde?

Does Toyota still provide info for these old 40's? This Toyota website will only accept a 17digit VIN!?!?

Any suggestions from you vets of the 40 realm would be appreciated.

 

[Trollhole]

No info from Toyota. Vin is way too old.

Drove it a bunch today running errands and to DMV. Fingers crossed but nothing broke, yet. Needless to say I added towing coverage on my insurance.

I have AAA too

This 40 thing is gonna have me spending more $ on the 80 too. After towing all that weight with OME J springs I know I am in need for some heavier duty springs. I'll prob. go with SLEE 4in. Heavies. Oh the fun never stops.

Congrats, Sam. Nice looking truck. I love the late 40's.
