Hello to all.
I am new to this site but a longtime FJ40 owner.
I took delivery of my 1974 FJ40 on June 2, 1974, from Toyota North, Bedford Hills, NY.
It was my daily driver and weekend fun truck.
I drove it to Florida and back several times. My brother and I drove it to California in 1977 when I moved there, and it has been in Arkansas and now Kansas.
In 1979, I put a 350 GMC truck engine in it with an Advance Adapters conversion kit. That engine lasted until 2014 when it spun a bearing. There is a Chevrolet Performance 350 installed now in its place.
After 40 years of ownership, it is doubtful that I will ever sell this truck but my son would love to get his hands on it. Perhaps in the will. lol
I am looking forward to talking to you all about these great machines.
