Fj45 it finally happend

[DanS]

All the parts are pretty much blasted at this point. The frame is headed off to get blasted and then powder coated.

Very nice! Love the progress!

Very cool truck. Are you getting the body work done local around Boulder by any chance? Where are you using?

Picked up a low mile 2F motor and drive train the other week and am going to use it as a donor for the fj45. I have decided at this point that it will get a 5spd and probably run a 2F until I want to takle the 3F build. Mocking it up in the frame.

Seems like you should just bite the bullet & go bj45 3b/H55f with the 40'series top plate....

That's a solid thought. Toss a turbo on it, and he'll forget all about those silly F engines.

I would like this combo in 68.

Frame

Since this is going to be a driver I didnt want to take any chances with some thin spots on the frame. The frame was boxed with a ruff stuff kit.
