A few weeks ago the FJ60 rode the trailer home from Colo, today it pulled the trailer and retrieved a 1965 FJ45 SWB Pickup, almost the same color...

I suppose this fuel tank is some wrecking yard add on???

texican · 09-14-2002, 05:17 PM

Look how different the rear shackle hangar is from a 40.......

texican · 09-14-2002, 05:23 PM

This truck is decieving, I would have guessed from looking, the wheel base of it and a 40 were very close, but the length of the rear driveshaft tells a different story, it has everything for a PTO winch, visible here, except the winch

Berg · 09-14-2002, 05:26 PM

So don't tell us you got that for $750 too!

texican · 09-14-2002, 05:28 PM

It even came with a limited edition underhood security system.........

That thing is looking awesome! I wish i could have found a decent FJ-45 when i was looking for my rig. But i am very happy with my FJ-40 chevota

Mr McGee · 09-14-2002, 06:09 PM

man, landcruiser pickups are soo cool...i wish i could get one of those aussie extended cab or crew cab ones and convert it to lhd...that would be sweeet.

fork you for finding it first

NICE

KrustyKruiser · 09-14-2002, 06:29 PM

Great find Butch - the bed looks in really good condition - does it still have the tailgate? Cheers, Andy

2nd pict, can see a bit of it...

texican · 09-14-2002, 07:35 PM

The only angle I did not post

It's only flaws, fairly certain the motor is locked up.
2 ==4"X24" angle iron sections welded in the bed on the fenderwells, PO said it used to have a shooting platform...
I gave quite a bit more for this one, my wife looked it over and tried to understand.................
She thinks it's Fugly.

green73 · 09-14-2002, 07:46 PM

What is the reatchet strap for on the steering wheel? I only ask because I'll be trailering my 40 cross country in a couple weeks. BTW rEALLY nice find. Congrats!

texican · 09-14-2002, 07:57 PM

This bitch don't run, I loaded it alone, with two come-along's, or hand winchs as some call them, the strap is to hold the steering wheel as I adjusted it to guide it onto the trailer.

wngrog · 09-14-2002, 08:13 PM

So glad to see that rig finally coming out of the weather and coming "home" to a good family.

Make her pretty Butch.

Reddog · 09-14-2002, 10:07 PM

very nice !

ouibus · 09-15-2002, 02:22 AM

Texican, aka Butch.
All I have to say is that is an absolutely beautiful find you have on your hands. What would I give to own one of those rigs. To top it off, the one that you found looks to be in sweet condtion. Congrats man, and I bet you will have some fun with that. Remember, you need to keep us updated when you start working on it.

74_Chevota · 09-15-2002, 06:17 AM

Hey Texican, is this gana be a trail rig or street rig? I see a chevy big block in its future

Jason M · 09-15-2002, 09:46 AM

I want one

I guess the only way I'll be cool enough to hang out here is to go find a rust free FJ45 wagon....

Very nice find Butch!

texican · 09-15-2002, 01:14 PM

Anyone with a Phallic symbol tht makes his FJ look like a unicorn is way cool!!!!!!
