This has to win some sort of prize, it's not every day you see patina with a genetic code. Is that the edge of a SWB bed I see back there? Great truck.

Yes it is a 65 fj45. It had been sitting since 2004. It was starting to grow. Surprisingly it is in good shape under the lichen.

Here it is after a power wash. It is a 65 SWB body that someone decided to mount on a fj55 chassis. My plan is to put this body back on a 45 SWB RT chassis that I have. Hope to make it a little more whole again.

Does just breaking chunks off it count as “adding to the patina?”

Need to get a build thread started, but here's my 67 Yosemite Yellow. California then Idaho truck, made it's way to Maine. Will get the full @wngrog treatment on the exterior and a complete mechanical refresh, disc brakes, power steering.
