This 1964 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ45 pickup was acquired by the seller’s uncle from the original owner in 2004, and ownership passed to the seller in 2016. The truck reportedly spent a total of 40 years off the road before it became the subject of a five-year refurbishment under current ownership that was completed in 2021. Work included a frame-off, bare-metal repaint in tan, powder coating of the frame, and a retrim of the interior in red vinyl in addition to rebuilds of the 3.9-liter F inline-six, three-speed manual transmission, dual-range transfer case, and axles. It rides on 15″ steel wheels and features Old Man Emu suspension components, a pintle hitch, and a cabin heater. This FJ45 pickup is now offered with the owner’s manual, spare parts, and a South Dakota title in the seller’s name.
During the aforementioned refurbishment, the frame was removed from the truck, media blasted, and powder coated. The body and replacement bed were stripped to bare metal and repainted tan, while the roof was finished in white. Exterior details include a driver-side mirror, a fold-down windshield, a drop-down tailgate, rear bumperettes, and a pintle hitch.
Black-finished 15″ steel wheels wear polished hubcaps and are mounted with Hercules HDT tires. Braking is handled by power-assisted four-wheel drums, and the truck was lifted 1″ using Old Man Emu springs, shackles, and pins.
The cab features a split bench that has been retrimmed in red vinyl along with a cabin heater.
Instrumentation comprises a 100-mph speedometer as well as gauges for oil pressure, coolant temperature, amperage, and fuel level. The five-digit odometer shows 60k miles.
The 3.9-liter F inline-six was rebuilt in 2018 and was factory-rated at 125 horsepower and 209 lb-ft of torque. The Aisin D40 carburetor was stripped and rebuilt prior to reinstallation.
Power is routed to the rear or all four wheels through a three-speed manual transmission and a dual-range transfer case, which were media blasted prior to a rebuild along with the axles in 2018.
The South Dakota title lists the model year as 1967 and notes “Exempt” under the Odometer Brand heading.
