I love your collection. How ever do you decide which one to take out on any given day?
They all look great. Keep up the great pictures!! We all enjoy them.

Thank you!

My FJ55 project has monopolized so much time I’m glad to get it use the others some this weekend.

Patina and the Goat both got a good wash and a fresh sheen of Boiled Linseed Oil.

I've decided to never repaint my 40 after seeing this thread. Rock the rust!

Most worked tailgate I have ever had! Came off a 67 that was a firewood hauler for 30 years! Love seeing it everyday!

Dig the bottle opener as well - need to find some way to integrate it into the bumper on mine.

A friend told me about this one, tried contacting the guy but I don't think he wants to sell

Couple more years and he won’t have anything left to sell

It is nice lawn art!! He probably likes looking at it when he's mowing the lawn.
