it's got an F engine, nothing really special to see there

i passed up a deal on a '69 cruiser recently, just needed too much tlc for me to handle. that, and the drum brakes and vacuum shift t-case turned me off to it, no matter how well they might work.

"rare factory split wheels, fix your tires on the trail.." Anyone who has not had the pleasure of messing with split rims - don't put it on your list of things to do someday. More dangerous than working underneath the rig with a highlift holding it up....

i've heard working with split rims is a pretty hair raising experience, that they're filled in a cage with a controller about 15 feet away...

Humm. Is THAT why they are rare? Or was it just noticed to be a bad design and they were short lived.

Weren't short lived - they were around for 50 years. Very dangerous, even to skilled pros. Bad idea.

man wish i had pics of my buddys old fj.
it was just like that blue one but blood red, 5 inches of lift, 35's ithink, custom brushed aluminum/carbon fiber/diamond plate interior with nice racing seats and 3 point harness. chevy small bloke completely tricked out. soft top/hardtop, custom front bumper with sheet metal covering it (awesome looking). this kid sold his 99 4runner limited to build this up, had it for 3 years and sold it his senior year of high school. thing could tear off the line and keep at a steady 90 on the highway, i wanted it so badly
