Yep! Working Meyers 6.5' plow included.
The PO used it for plowing his drive in Evergreen for many years. The clutch master cylinder was bad and he thought there was a problem with the transmission. So he wanted to get it out of the drive before winter and now its Zach's. New clutch master cylinder and its fine.

Sweet, Zach can start a plow & shoveling business. Drivers License? We don't need no stinking license.
Awesome truck!

Now for the first real tech question...
2F engine, one jet in the carb with fuel going through it when you pump the accelerator the other is completely dry. Anything short of a complete carb rebuild to correct this?

Rusty doors?
Looks like at least some body rust. If you have rusty doors, I have a complete set of 4 late model doors (rounded upper front corners, no vent windows on the fronts) showing no rust and what appears to be original paint. Glass and mechanisms intact but no interior panels or hardware. I'm in Grand Junction...delivery could be arranged.
Good luck...you'll find the 55 fun and educational.

Got the carb problem fixed.
Vacuum line on what looks like an advance that runs down the side and connects under the carb was removed from the underside of the carb and plugged with a screw.
Tube where it's supposed to connect on the underside of the carb was open.
We'll install new spark plugs this weekend and then take 'er in for emissions next week!

you can check here to see if your engine is original to the truck (or at least have a certain level of certainty that it is):
http://forum.ih8mud.com/40-55-series-tech/82256-2f-serial-number-info.html
Then you can go here and make sure the carb is the right year for your engine/linkage/emissions equipment:

I and others would recommend getting a Toyota FSM, including the emissions manual, or else a Haynes is an ok substitute I have found. Then you can trace your emissions and vacuum controls and make sure all that stuff is working before you take it in.
Good luck, great project! Like UB said it would be nice to have a swimming pool of electrolyte to do a full body rust removal from these bad boys!

The accel pump only puts gas down the primary barrel. The secondary is opened by a vacuum diaphram that has likely failed.

01/1978 FJ55 Serial #84495, Engine #238208 which checks out on the SOR 2F Engine weblisting for production date/engine match. So, I'm even more confident that this is original truck/engine combo. Thanks for the info on checking this out.
I have a Toyota chassis manual, but never picked up the engine manual as both of my 40's have chevy transplants. Guess it's time to try and find one.

Keep the pics coming!
I've bveen watching this thread with great interest. After much flip flopping, and even test driving a couple 60s, I've decided that of all the FJs, only a Pig actually fits my personality. As soon as my MC sells, a Pig will be mine.
