This 1974 FJ43 was in great shape when we first bought it in Bogota, Colombia, but it still needed some love. After a full overhaul, this rig not only looks fantastic but also runs strong, is extremely reliable, and is mechanically well sorted and tuned.

Work includes a bare-metal repaint in the original color and total refurbishment of the interior. It has a brand new OEM carb and we fully rebuilt the original 3.9-liter F.5 engine, 4-speed manual gearbox, and transfer case. It also has brand new steel wheels and mud terrain tires. After the restoration was completed, we imported the truck to SW Florida. Invoices from the build and importation documents are included in the sale, and it has a clean Florida title in my name. We are asking $33,000.

The truck was originally finished in Mustard Yellow (532), but a previous owner had repainted it red some time ago. We stripped the red paint from the body and inspected the condition of all panels. Those with small blemishes were refurbished and damaged panels were totally replaced. We coated the floor and bed panels with an anti-corrosion liner before the entire body was repainted in the factory yellow. The chassis and all body panels are completely rust free. The beige soft-top has been refurbished and cleaned.

The cabin was refurbished with new grey upholstery on the seats, folding reach bench seats, and door panels. The original steering wheel remains in place, and the horn, switchgear, lights, and gauges all work properly. We included a new OEM 4-speed shift knob, transfer case shifter knob, and shift instruction plate, though the original 3-speed plate will be included in the sale. This rig features a Pioneer head unit and door speakers, and custom black rubber floor mats.

The 3.9-liter F.5 inline-six was introduced in 1973 and featured the updated oil delivery system that was fitted to the later 2F engines, as well as other upgrades. The engine has been rebuilt and includes a new OEM fuel pump, carburetor, fuel filters, and oil filters. A 4-speed manual gearbox was rebuilt and installed, and an electronic ignition system was added for improved reliability. The rebuilt transfer case with locking hubs functions properly. Fluids were flushed and replaced during the rebuild, and the truck was serviced in November 2017 before being imported. A new battery was recently installed.
