Very cool Shawn!

It's been repainted and there are a couple other non-stock things about it but overall that is a true gem. Congrats! :cool:

Yes it has, wait until you see the power vent UFO thing on the top.... Still it runs great and is so close to being rust free, except a few spots.

PS, I need a few things from you.
Rear upper tailgate handle and maybe a dash?

Tailgate handles I have plenty of, I generally recommend doing a new handle pad too. Dash's are near impossible to find without cracks, unfortunately none of those at this time. There is a gent doing reproduction pads, $275: http://www.fj40dash.com/Toyota-Land-Cruiser-Dash-FJ40-Dash-Pad-9-72-10-82-72-82fj40dash.htm

Any idea what color it used to be? Let's see how she looks under the hood!

Beige

Under the hood is oily, could use a vale cover gasket I'll snap a pic.

The VIN is listed as a 73 and the title is 2/27/74. I has the 3 speed, kinda bumbed about that.

Right only I have the valve cover gaskets too. Easy fix.

PM the VIN number if you would, I'll tell you when it was made :D

Right on, looks complete and close to stock. Wonder what is up with the red primer behind the motor? Did you discover the vintage of your motor?

What a score man :cool:

The red stuff is kinda scattered on the hood, fan and a couple of weird spots.. rubs off

The Engine number just says F on the pass side
