1978 was a good year!
This 1978 FJ40 is mostly original other than an exterior repaint in the original #854 Sky Blue and a few improvements. I'd put her squarely in the "survivor" category! I've driven her and she runs great and handles well. The engine compression is 130 to 135 across all cylinders.
Some of the improvements include an updated SOR 2" suspension with Bilstein shocks and Old Man Emu steering stabilizer, new battery, replacement headliner, Sony in dash AM/FM/BT audio system with speakers in all four corners and a Tuffy center console between the original upholstered front seats. She's been enjoyed by the same owner for the last 5 years and is showing 101381 miles.
There is no power steering or A/C which were not offered by Toyota until 1979. She was originally delivered to CA and of course she has retained her original 2F engine and 4-speed transmission with all the original smog equipment. The truck should easily pass California smog. Located in central Iowa. Offerred at $37,900 OBO.
