Thanks guys. I just picked it up this August and have put quite a bit of work into it to date. The pics are flattering. When you get close all the nagging bits become apparent. I am really happy I found it though. I am going to enjoy it for the next couple of years and then tear it apart.

I am really suprised on how much I am enjoying driving this old rig!

Another newbie here.... I owned a '73 FJ40 throughout most of the 90's, always regretted selling it... Now rejoining the LC world with a '66 FJ45 that I bought last Friday.

Look out troopys ,
thought you guys might enjoy the cage on this hj47

If I get this right, that heavy old 45 truck, with an upright windshield, a bullbar up front, a heavy toolbox, and a cage built for some heavy stuff, needs an airfoil on top of the cab to streamline the airflow at the high speeds it travels? Love to see the engine that powers all that !

Well Here is my 1964 FJ45 LWB removable top. FJ45-20081
Just bought it today for $4800. Been driving it around all day today.
Really happy with it so far. Very enjoyable to drive and its good to finally own a Truck now so i don't have to borrow my father's 6x4 trailer anymore. ;p
I know it may not look much now... but i'll be doing a lot of tiding up and neatening of it with various things it might need. And for 1964, it is in a pretty good condition i think.

I just brought a 3 month 1980 hj45 from a mate who has owned from new. He rolled her coming home from work 10 years ago and cut the roof off for his farm truck. It cost me two cartons of fosters for the truck with a badly rusted cab. After 12 months searching I found a good clean cab for another carton with missing doors etc. I just found two good doors for a carton each so my quest now is rebuild this truck with parts paid in full with beer. I will try and get some photo's up so you guys can check her out.

Now if you can trade beer for the labor to help swap it out... Cheers..

LOL with the beer
I'm lucky because where I live the 45 cruisers where the best 4x4 for the job of climbing around the hills picking up bunches of bananas for the Sydney markets. Most of the early cruisers are still slugging it out as work trucks with over 30 years service so there quite a few laying around on farms as they retire these and park them up for spares.

Brought some hj47 seats on fleebay for 30 dollars and tracked down a rear window and door jams today. Found a 45 power take of winch complete for a few more cartons.
