Bringing a '69 FJ40 back to life

We came across this rust free '69 FJ40 in LA, although the body was straight the rig was in need of a complete mechanical restoration.

Bringing a '69 FJ40 back to life

We found this '69 in LA in 2016. The body was straight but it had been neglected mechanically...to say the least.

Thanks! It is a 1F with a 3 speed, the original motor.

After it had sat in our warehouse for a few months I went to move the '69 and low and behold...no brakes! Good thing the door was open and unobstructed! Time to rectify that
