Howdy Folks. Many of you have already been of great help as I
dove right into asking questions before introducing myself

I'm a one banana guy that always wanted a cruiser after a buddy
and I had great times in Colorado around 79 - 81 in his Blue 40.
Shortly after buying a red one with a b grade paint job I noticed
mine used to be the same color blue.

I've got a digital camera and I've had this thing on the road, just
never both at once :-(. Currently in my driveway awaiting parts
that make those plug things go all sparky and stuff

here is the web site from the guy I bought it from .. it is still up.
I think this was advertised for sale here about 5 weeks ago

Big Howdy and special thanks to those that have already answered
my questions !

heheehe

I use it hold up the back short leg on my work bench. See it's good for something

 

[WES1977]

It's a 76 and it has the tail gate and hatch back. That must be a older top.

I don't have a complete history but I think the doors/tailgate were
swapped for the ambulance doors ... Could be the whole top was
changed ... don't know for sure

Thanks .... When the Avalanche start charging $4 for a seat I'll peel
off the Rocky Hocky gear and get current

Paul,

When I lived in Denver, I liked going to the Grizzlies games - great hockey at a great price. Avalance is superb hockey but unaffordable.

[johnnybravo300]

hey brian...where did you get the 4 wheel disc brakes for the 71? did you swap out everything when you did it?

 

[LandCruiserSteve]

Nice Truck, I like the Bumper painted the same color too!! havent seen that before

Actually that's how all Land Cruisers originally came from the factory during their first 2-3 years of existence.

This is one of Toyota's stock museum pieces, an FJ-25.

 

[HawkDriver]

Ahhh how nice it would be to have a 25 all factory like that. Sweet. That or a 45 I would keep completely stock. Those tires are cool.
