Full Rundown:

This is a really solid truck. with some incredible bones and a lot to offer. It's a 1965 with the correct matching early corrugated top. and guillotine-style rear doors. Rust free overall. with a nice patina showing through. but you won't find any rust holes or pockets hiding. Frame is in perfect shape. as is the tub. Really solid condition overall.  

Under the hood is a Chevy 350 crate engine with unknown mileage. although presumed new when installed. Engine is mated to a Ranger AA 27% overdrive split gearbox and backed by a later-model Toyota 4-speed manual transmission and the factory transfer case.  
The 4WD high and low work perfectly. and both axles have Aussie lockers in them. Truck has brand new 34" Super Swampers on it. with maybe 1000 miles on them. Truck was converted to Saginaw power steering and is very easy to drive. Also has disc brakes in the front. Cruises 80mph down the freeway without a problem thanks to the V8 and the split gearbox.

This truck will go absolutely anywhere you point it. With the locked differentials and the V8. it'll climb up a wall. It's a tremendously capable truck. far moreso than most will ever need short of hardcore rock climbers.

Interior is in good shape. with early Celica Supra seats installed. Inside is painted a nice metallic grey. with a black rhino-lined floor. The factory rear jump seats are long gone. it's all cargo space out back.

Truck includes the accessories - the roof rack is strong and will support hundreds of pounds. the rear tire carrier is stout. and the matching jerry cans are handy and are pretty nice to have. The truck is lifted with shackles. and rides decently well for what it is. The tires aren't the smoothest. but anyone interested in a truck like this won't mind.

Overall. this truck is a really good one. and wonderful for someone who's looking for a truck they can hop in and drive every day. but can also spend their Saturdays tinkering with and fixing up to make it perfect. It has its fair share of flaws - it could use tie rods and spring bushings to improve the comfort level. The paint/finish is some sort of interesting brown and black texture. I personally love it. and it's why I bought the truck back when I did. but you may not like it. It has plenty of dings. dents. and imperfections if you're keen on fixing them. or embrace it like I have. It's got some holes in the floor from an old roll cage installation from a previous owner - things like that. This is not. in any way. a perfect truck. but it's a great starting platform to the ultimate trail rig. and a perfect truck for someone who wants to get into a very capable Land Cruiser without spending a fortune doing it. She needs a hand full of things. and she's rough around the edges but she's ready to hit the trail as is. and is as solid as they come. The V8 pulls hard and boogies if you mash the go-pedal. and it'll tackle any obstacle you throw at it.  

Please don't hesitate to ask any questions. I'm an upfront seller. and looking to get her moved sooner than later.
