Do you guys think that 78 fj55 is even worth looking at? Sure has some rust but seems to have had some money put in it....??

WAY outside your price range but DANG this could be fun
![]() Maybe the seller would come down a bit in price to avoid shipping the Cruiser back to WA ![]() http://forum.ih8mud.com/4172586-post177.html

In terms of daily driver duties I would take a FJ60 with a small block over a stock FJ55. Parts are more easily found for the V8J60, not just engine but misc body parts, interior parts, etc. It's a common enough swap that if done well it's not gonna be a basket case.

For the most part the few custom parts that make it work would be easier to work around than finding completely non-existent replacement FJ55 parts. Some of the mechanical parts will be the same as the FJ40, which are only semi-rare and/or expensive. The body mechanical stuff is tough, like rear window, interior parts, window regulators, etc. We'd love a Pig, but we've already got two relatively reliable Toyotas to cover getting to work and all that...

That's a nice truck. Wish I had the coin.
Here's a clean, low mileage truck. I was looking for something like this last year when I found my mini. http://denver.craigslist.org/cto/1053128749.html
