It was parked in some guys driveway around the corner from my house. I bugged him for awhile about it but he wanted to much. It had been parked there for 14 years. I caught him one day when his wife was with him out front and offered him cash. Needless to say his wife influenced him to take the money and get it out of the driveway. The truck was complete but had a blown engine. I had a built 2f motor from out of my 1978 FJ40 sitting in my garage from when I did the v8 build on it. The plan was to buy it, install the engine and sell it! Then I decided I would paint it first. Now I have a complete frame off custom bulid on my hands. It should be a fun project and someday I will inherit it back.
