I bought it for the body to put on my 71. Then I started looking at how I have 90% of it, I may build it up. It has no top or rear doors. The front doors are OUTSTANDING! Only the rear sill was rusted, and he had already removed it. Solid floors, solid rockers, great windshield. Even has the chrome bezel.

He had the SM420 transmission rebuilt at a trans shop, and I know the AA adapter is $500 bux. I'll made out ok either way I do it.
Now I have to help tlake get his pickup FI conversion and dash board swap done so I can get it inside his shop.

I had bought it to swap the body onto my 71. Life gets in the way.

Still undecided, but need to get off my buddies property. Had a soccerball sized bee nest over the top of my parts.

Ya, I know what thats about. My cruiser has not had much done since we had our baby 1 year ago. Life tends to happen and theres nothing you can do about it.

Gotta love an FJ project. Just keep the Shivy crap out of it and you'll have a great truck.
