Everyone, I probably should not have posted yet, but I wanted to see what kind of market there will be for parts before I take on this venture. IF and WHEN it happens, (likely within a couple of weeks) I will start posting more details. In the meantime, I want to see if there is any real interest in a couple of the "bigger" items. I will sell everything on a first come, first served basis assuming the buyer gets me money in hand in a reasonable timeframe.
Rolling Chassis from '78
This is the description I got from the PO:
1978 FJ40, titled and registered in North Carolina.
She was running when I bought her, the 4-wheel drive worked, so the drive train seemed pretty functional. The tub and rear cross member had severe rust and rot and the interior was pretty much trashed. I’ll try to be as accurate as to the condition, and what I recollect I sold or was missing, but it’s been two years since I’ve touched it.
Frame, axles, transmission, transfer case, and motor, all functioned prior to teardown. With the exception of replacing the rear cross member and spring hangers (steel-fab reproductions) the chassis is rolling and has not been touched. The frame and all components are in really good shape, with little or no rust.
4" BDS Lift Kit
I've got 2 people "in line" so far that have expressed interest.
1 dash / cowl, stripped and in good shape
All heating, box, tubes, ext, no rear heater
Now's the time to get "in line" if you think you will be interested in any of this stuff. Prices are not set yet, but will be very reasonable and based on current market pricing for similar items sold on MUDD. I'm trying to keep most of the stuff local pickup to avoid the headache of shipping, so that's why it's going to be listed here way before I head to the MUDD forsale forum.
Thanks,
Ramon Weller
