I would repaint the truck whatever it was when it was born if you are looking for full collector value.
I would typically say the same but I'm not sure if I could handle a solid blue pig. Maybe if it was a darker 60 series blue.....
55's look best in two tone. All of them should have been produced that way.
The only standard solid color I remember is white. I could be mistaken however. Treeroot would know for sure.I thought that two tone was 55's only option unless it was red(or was it orange) in which case solid was available.
I love the cut out grills.

I'm beginning the work on the frame-off restoration of my '77 FJ55. I got the engine out and in the next week or so I'm hoping to have the body on my friend's rotisserie. I'm wanting to change the truck from the single 854 sky blue to the two-tone 854/031 sky blue on white.
Mine is an October 1976 build date, btw.
"From the 40/55 FAQ paint code chart, it appears that sky blue and white were the only solid pigs from 1975 to 1979."
Don't know how I ended up with a '76 with original Freeborn Red paint then.
My interior is supposed to be original but who knows. Those are replacement door cards but I have the original ones and they are in very good condition. View attachment 2017779
My 77 had that exact seat with headrests.
