Introduction
Hi y’all. First build thread here. I’ve been into 4WD Toyota’s for the majority of my driving life. I’ve had a total of 7 or so, including a few 4Runners, a pickup and a couple of 80 series.
Anyway, after more than a decade of lusting for a 40 series I am finally the proud owner of a 1966 FST. She’s a project for sure, but I’m in love.
This project will be pretty dang slow unfortunately. Due to having a young family, pursuing a Master’s degree and working full-time resources (time & money) will be tight.
I have been fortunate so far to have the help of local and some distant cruiser-heads. Both in their willingness to share knowledge and more fortunately donate some parts they don’t need freely.
The first few posts will be in quick succession as I’ve wavered on starting a build thread and quite a bit has happened since I obtained it in late January.
Can’t start a build thread with the obligatory first pics from the ad. So here goes:
