I went to Missouri to pick up a new one!

More like late 60’s. I really like those turn signals on the front bib.
 
73 or 74 ?

Exactly, and the high wipers!

74 and earlier have the high wipers (earlier have dual motors)

Pre 73 ??? for no loovers on cowl driver’s side

Pre 70 ??? for lights on front bib.

Without doing research I can’t give exact years. I have a ‘74 and know what wipers it has… they were 73/74 for top single motor I believe.
 
69-70
 
@bikersmurf just wait until you see my mash up! It’ll make your head spin. Thinking about the incorporating from other series too. Haha!!

Another Frankencruiser? I lost count at parts from 36 Landcruisers & others. ‘74 with a split hood, ‘77ish frame, ‘76 front knuckles & brakes, ‘77 Fj45 rear axle, ‘75 seats, ‘72 SBC, ‘89 alternator, ‘81 hardtop, 74’ hatch, Tuffy console, 75’ trans & t-case, Scout II P/S, 80’ Chevy pump, ‘70 Chevy housing, etc., etc.
 
On spring break, so I got back, did a little work, and drove it.

Some fender liner / silicone tape @Godfather90 used. Worked great. Cut out most of the splatter I get from the tires on the doors.

Also popped these out of the box. Can anyone say cantilever rear suspension?

Went out and took a few pictures with the dog and my mom.

The amber reflectors on the aprons was only 68 and 69 models. 72 is the louvers were part of the cowl on both sides. Previous model years with a factory installed heater the louver was a separate piece held on with screws. Those were only on the passenger side.

It's a 3/69 build with a 73/74 hood on it. AFAIK.

Kind of like a grown up LEGO, huh?

Today I took the hard top off to more thoroughly search for rust (not finding any additional) and give it a thorough clean.
