The red-neck-house-on-wheels-cars-aint build (better than the $200)

[AKcruiserfreak]

This is my parts rig. A 1973 bought new in Fairbanks, AK. I am the second owner. It's almost a shame to part it out, but it does have some serious rust under the shag carpet and bondo.
I also threw in a pic of my 1941 Power Wagon ambulance that my dad and I will be restoring this Summer. It's been parked for a Longggg time.

Awesome! That PW will be a lot of fun. It's just like a cruiser, only bigger and heavier.

I'm pretty sure I saw your '73 driving around back when I lived in AK (few years ago now).

Yeah, it would have been driving around 2 or3 years ago. It has the worst V8 swap ever. The PW is my other passion. Here's a pic of the other one we have, complete with bullet holes from WWII. My dad rebuilt is in the early 70's to haul wood and thought is was long gone, but I found it this Summer. Between the two of them, we will have one solid rig.

My semi-hijack is over. Sorry

 

[ibinazbass]

sorry about the poor quality but i wanted to post this pic from my local wrecking yard

The power wagon you have is the holy grail of power wagons. I think they only made around 1,500 of the delivery wagon style for the civilian market.


And your FJ40 is East Coast Mint. Restore it already.

My current resto. Had been sitting in a garage for 20 years.

Various cruiser that are dead or dying that I have seen over the years.

Was hauled to the scrap yard not long after this photo.

Cruiser grave yard we went to at night up in the sticks.

Another field with cruiser in it.

HEY!!! BUDDY BEST FRIEND!!!!!! i need a good straight driver side door for an 80 fj40

any of those forsale????

OH!!! PS!! i also need an oil pump and i can always use a better set of seats (the PO told me mine came out of a chevy.... -something mid 90s car iv never heard of b4 and cant recall the name now)

sadly... some hardtops that iv seen in these pics look better than the one i bought shortly after getting my 40... man wish id found ih8 about a month before i bought my 40.....

One from the very far north of NZ (taken a decade or so ago so it has probably rusted away now):






PS. Ignore the date on the image - It is simply when I tranferred it to digital format.

Did you give him the shine or pour it on the rig to make it that nice? Wow

 

[dargreg]

Gave my mom the shine she grew up with it(Loggers wife, shes 82).i had to quit drinking as I couldnt find all three of my vehicals after the week end to go to work.

 

[Mikesta]

Here is my new redneck rig.

Almost didn't buy it because it needed to be reassembled and had 3" of junk/dirt/needles/leaves etc on covering everything.

Once I cleaned it out found that it was quite the find... half restored already and practically rust free. Meh. Loaded and drug it home.

All images of it are here
