I went over the major components; this is a project for someone who likes to tinker. I get frequent requests for cheaper priced Cruisers, this one fits the bill. I bought this truck from the original owner’s family in the high desert of eastern Oregon. The original owner passed in 1996, this vehicle sat in a barn from 1996 until I purchased it in 2013. Very hard to find original type not hacked up Cruisers these days. This truck needs little things and cosmetic work, great start for a mild restoration. I have 94 pictures on the photobucket link, click or copy and paste in your browser. http://s953.photobucket.com/user/fj40man79/library/1971%20PTO%20White%20FJ40 HISTORY The original owner bought this truck in 1971 from a dealer in Oregon. He drove the truck on his ranch, also to his other home in San Francisco on occasion. He had the original motor rebuilt in 1994, replaced the clutch at that time. He passed in 1996; the truck was stored in a barn until I bought it. I place wanted ads, and hand out cards in all the little rural towns I travel through, about the only way to get these type of barn find Cruisers. Owner’s son contacted me, I winched it on my trailer and off to my shop. I tested the major components, have it in a running/driving condition ready for the new owner to make it their own. Let me be more specific, this Cruiser can run/drive on and off a trailer or semi. NOT ready for distance travel. MECHANICAL The original F motor was rebuilt in 1994, the owner passed in 1996, not run since I got it in 2013. The motor has excellent compression, clean as a whistle inside, obvious very low miles on the rebuilt. The clutch was replaced in 94, operates well, 3 on the tree shifts well. We got the brakes working; it does run/drive/stop. The brakes need to be bled and adjusted. The original Toyota PTO winch is complete and works great. We cleaned out the carb, changed a few things to make it run. Good enough to drive on/off a trailer or down the street not dialed in enough to make a road trip. The expensive parts are in order, needs tinkering to be a daily driver. Some of the lights do not work, looks like all the gauges work. BODY All the panels are original to this truck. This truck is pretty rust free speaking FJ40. There are some spots of rot, pics on the link show well. Spots on the passenger floor, spot behind the driver seat. Just small sheet metal patches needed. Surface rust in the bed. The fenders are un-cut, the frame is excellent, and body mounts excellent. The bottoms of all 4 doors are excellent. Original wheels and good tread tires. This truck spent 10 days in my shop to get it to this point. We know it’s a good foundation to turn into a nice restored vehicle. Finding an original FJ40 is difficult, I know I’m redundant, but barn finds in rural areas are about it these days. Everyone knows the prices on these have sky-rocketed in the past few years. Complete factory PTO winch is a huge bonus. I believe this is a great start for a guy/gal that wants to tinker/learn/mild restore one of these legendary vehicles without having to spend the huge dollars all at once to buy one of my perfect restored units.
