The goat is looking good. Thoughts on the BLO so far? Looks like it dulled down a bit and looks like a more natural patina than when you first applied it.

Yes. Love it. It wears off the paint pretty quick but seems to help protect the bare rusted metal.

Took her up to the local store to purchase some gun cleaning patches. It was almost 50 degrees, so figured she deserved a drive.

Love your rig and love the fact your rig knows you are the provider of all good things, including a nice walk to the local store

Looking good!! You gotta like a store that has all the essentials: Beer, wine, liquor, food, shooting supplies.

Just picked up this '69, very excited to have a survivor. Working on getting the extra bolt on crap off of her, that hideous top was off within about 10 minutes of having home.

Looks like a solid FST.

Yup, bought it from the original owner (Chet). He cried when we took it away...

I think that was the über-rare FWT.

Cute

As much as I loathe that top, it did it's job and protected the inside of this rig remarkably well as it sat for 24 years.

Am partial to the 69 FST of course but I really like your rig--rust looks really minor considering; how about some picks of the interior pretty please! The moss on the top is classic btw.

Pulled the passenger seat to take the fuel sending unit out and check the gas tank. Luckily Chet had drained the tank, it was pristine inside. New fuel, fuel filter, oil, oil filter and battery, she fired right up. Gotta love these things.

Floor boards are rusty, but solid. No holes...

Unfortunately the full FWT never came on the fj40’s it was however on the Toyota KC that was produced by toyota during wwii ... wood cab due to steel going to more pressing military needs

It is very reminiscent of the factory wood cab KC’s ... maybe it was the look he was going for

 

[wngrog]

So happy for you. Start a thread. I love watching them come back.

Got my top off Patina. That was not pretty. It’s a great feeling though

Got the Pig rattlecanned evenly as well.
