Stage Three 1963 FJ43

1963 FJ43 I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK IN APPLE VALLEY MANY YEARS AGO FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNER WHO IMPORTED IT FROM AUSTRALIA IN 1965. THE HEAD CRACKED IN 1978, AND IT SAT IN A BARN TILL’ I SHOWED UP. I BUILT IT FOR A CLIENT WHO LET ME DO MY THING, AND GAVE US NO DESIGN DICTATES. WE WENT FOR OUR FAVORITE COMBO: OLD SCHOOL LOOKS WITH MODERN PERFORMANCE. NOTE THIS RARE BODY IS 18.5” LONGER THAN THE STANDARD FJ40. STAGE THREE RESTORED WITH POWDER COATED AND PAINTED BODY (CUSTOM TLC COLOR) AND POWDER COATED FRAME, WHEELS, AXLE HOUSINGS AND MORE. RAM JET FUEL INJECTED V8, FIVE SPEED H55F TOYOTA TRANSMISSION AND TRANSFER CASE, FOUR WHEEL DISC BRAKES, EMU SUSPENSION, TUFFY CONSOLE, HEATED SEATS, TILT COLUMN, IPF LIGHTS, HID HEADLIGHTS, FIAMM HORNS, PAINLESS HARNESS, NICE STEREO SYSTEM INTEGRATED INTO CONSOLE AND BODY, CUSTOM MERCEDES CANVAS SOFT TOP AND DOORS USING THE ORIGINAL FRAME. NOW ENJOYING COLORADO ON NICE SUNNY DAYS.
