 This is either a great truck to do a little bit of work on and immediately take out and bang up on the trail or a start of a project! I bought it a few months ago so I could take the original F type motor, the heater parts and a few other parts put in a 73 FJ 40 I have that has a 350 in it. As is often the case, I have bitten off too much and I don't have time or energy to to go through with it. I'm in the middle of bringing a 72 FJ 55 back to life so something has to go. That is why I am selling this truck.

So...here is what you get that is good:

• Strong & solid running F type motor, choke works, starts a bit rough but give it a simple tune up and it would start right up. I took the air cleaner assembly off but it does come with the truck. Properly functioning transfer case & transmission. 2 WD High/4 WD High & Low all work. The clutch is working but needs adjusting or eventually replaced. Motor, trans & transfer can go for $1,500 plus
  
• Working breaks with new master cylinder, newer wheel cylinders in back and a couple new break lines. I just was trying to get the breaks working which I did so didn't do anything to drums or shoes.
  
• Front & rear heater
• Ok top. Some rust on back left and top has one spot that needs a little fiber glass repair. No headliner. Glass is all good and the back swing up window is in good shape and works. Tops alone can bring $400 to $900+.
  
• Good doors with no rust, good glass, right vent glass hinge is broken but an easy fix. Registers are stiff but a little work and they would be fine. Doors go for $175 to $275 easily.
• Good windshield glass no wiper motor.
  
• Dash is cracked but not ridiculous, most of knobs are intact and I have the glove box door and ash tray.
  
• Seats are way above average but could use some work and are extremely solid as a base for refurbishing. No head rests
• Roll bar & seat belt

Here is what you get that isn't good:

• Rust! It looks like this truck lived in northern Michigan and spent plenty of time in Canada so you can imagine. There is a rust through spot on the frame but everything considered not too bad and is pretty straight forward fix.
• needs taillights and front marker lights.

Bottom line is that there are a lot of good parts on this truck or you could use it as a start of a project or just have a solid trail rig...? I'm a Cruiser enthusiast so know what it is worth to the right person. I also don't want anyone to buy it without completely understanding what they are getting into. Please e-mail questions and I will answer ASAP. I need this truck gone. I will help with shipping and have a couple reliable companies I have worked with.

Thanks Kevin
