What I have is a rare 1962 factory softtop truck that is about all original. Has newer style tail lights, and has been sitting for the past 4 years. I stuck the oil pan on and she fired right up. Has a FJ25 intake manifold on it and runs good, very and I mean very little rust on the underbody but all sheetmetal is free of rust that I can tell. A few spots have been fiberglassed before I got it but thats about all I know aobut it. No jump seats. So condition is as follows:
Runs
3 speed on the colume
needs brakes and line work
needs clutch bleed
needs gas tank
all electronics work
32k on odometer and it does work
seats could use recovering
seats need to be bolted down
needs radiator
needs headlight buckets
has tailgate and not doors
no top or hardware
windshield frame is 100% good but needs glass but might have found one.
as far as I can remember thats about it, paint is in fair condition and the previous body work that was done was not that good so I would recommend to redo it if you are wanting a show/fully restored truck. I wanted to make a crawler out of it but no go, funds are not there and it turns out its too rare to chop up. These early 40's are very rare and you can do the research on it so if you are looking for a 40 to build and get a good deal then this mihgt not be for you, its vintage and is great shape for being 44 years old, even the pans are good. Also it has the centered rear diff axle too thats original. Anyway asking price is $3000 OBO and it does run and idles fine. God bless and I will post pics later.
