West Coast Classics are proud to present a custom 1972 Toyota FJ40 Landcruiser Truck which was sold new in 1972 in Southern California.It was ground-up, frame off restored and modified in Oregon. It was then sold to an owner in Vancouver, Canada where the previous owner purchased it in 2020. The entire drive train was replaced with a custom built Chevy 383 Stroker making approximately 500 hp along with brakes, suspension, steering, and electronics by Lalo at 'Lalos Muscle Cars & Corvettes' in Van Nuys, California.The engine is extremely strong and runs cool no matter how hot the outside temperature or how hard its run. The upholstery was upgraded by 'Nachos Custom Interiors' in North Hollywood, California. The custom seats are beautifully recovered and the new high level carpet is perfectly installed over Dynamat insulation.The truck was driven less than 520 miles after its initial restoration, and then less than 200 miles since the new engine and mechanical upgrades. It has very subtle ghost flames and has four wheel power disc brakes.ENGINE AND DRIVE TRAIN*Chevrolet 383 Stroker*880 Chevy block*Four bolt mains*Forged Scat iron crank*Speedmaster aluminum heads w/220 intake runners*Procomp aluminum hi-rise intake manifold*Wiseco forged aluminum pistons*Holley 750 Double Pumper*GM Performance cam with 230 duration Hydraulic rollers*10.5 compression ratio*MSD 6AL Ignition*MSD electronic distributor*MSD Blaster coil*MSD starter*MSD 8.5 mm plug wires*Edelbrock electric fuel pump*Completely new electrical wiring with new harness and switches*New custom built large capacity aluminum radiator*Oversize electric fan with automatic thermostat and manual controls*Hedman shorty polished headers*High-voltage alternator*Braided steel AN fuel lines.*Engine compartment mounted fuel pressure gauge*Custom chrome coolant over-flow tank*New belts and hoses*Optima red-top performance battery*Aluminum Chevy badged valve covers*Custom built battery tray and hold down clamp*MagnaFlow performance mufflers with side exit 3 inch custom built pipes*Custom built power steering pump*Dual horns*Muncie SM 465 truck 4 speed manual transmission*New heavy duty clutch*Custom made forged drive shaft*Moser rear end with 3.70:1 ratio*Chevy front differential with 3.70:1 ratio*Rebuilt transfer case*Wilwood 4-wheel power disc brakes*Aluminum 15 inch wheels*New BF Goodrich All-terrain KO-2 35 inch tires*New heavy-duty polished off-road Bilstein shock absorbers*Matching Bilstein polished steering stabilizersBODYWest coast no rust bodyComplete frame of restoration.No rust newly painted frameToyota 8J7 paint code Blue Steel Metallic with custom painted ghost flamesCustom rear bumperSecond custom-mounted 15 gallon gas tank with switching between the two tanks.New outside mirrors with two extra sets included.
