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.
 
Hello and welcome to the club...
What a brilliant story - owning a 40 from new - wow!!!
As soon as you have enough posts you will have to put some photos up of your truck.
You may have gathered that most of the 40s in the club are BJs - diesels.
It would be good if you could tell us more about your experiences with the truck...

By the way, how does one get in your will!!!

Regards,
