I have been an enthusiest for 20 years and have had many fj45 pickups over the years. A friend of mine in australia and I decided to bring some fj45 utes over from australia here to california. My goal is to bring in some neat fj45's and hj47 utes and offer them as real untouched,unrestored, running and driving work trucks and most importantly offer them at affordable prices that most can afford. There will be no fresh paint jobs, bondo,mismatched parts,etc. No buy it now for $75k!! No dealers, or out of the country sales. These trucks are located in California by private party. with that said they cannot be registered here in california directly. They need to be registered in a neighboring state first and then can come into california. So use due diligence when bidding and make sure you can register in your state(most are very easy) California is always the hardest state to register vehicles. This truck will be sold with a bill of sale and dot import paperwork, Aussie trucks do not have a title. This is a 1977 fj45 ute rhd. It has been upgraded with the much sought after 1hz late model toyota diesel engine,as well as an h41 4spd with the low first gear,and a split transfercase. It also has power disk brakes and rare power steering! and factory full float rear end and split rims! It is a well used original paint fj45 that runs great, goes down the road great. the engine has aprox 180 km and has NO blowby, and does not smoke at all, even dead cold fires right up after a short glow(manual glow system. Runs very strong and is quiet,a real joy to drive. the frame is solid, no rust,the cab has various rust spots,top lower corners( I have replacement sections for this) Pass floor has some rust through,windshield frame has some minor areas,nothing that isnt fixable.The brakes need some work, right front caliper seized and maybe a master cylinder? Hard pedal fade. Engine is very dry, no major leaks anywhere.Seats need some work. Basically an honest solid drivetrain,that runs drives and goes down the road. Would be a great truck to tinker on and fix the cosmetics as you drive. Please ask questions and have good feedback, and be serious and dont waste my time! Good luck...THIS IS A NO RESERVE AUCTION!!
