Vehicle Description
GR Auto Gallery is thrilled to offer this pristine, fully restored,
highly desirable 1978 Toyota HJ45 Pickup for consideration. The
HJ45 is a diesel powered, long wheel variant of the 40 series that
came available in "Troopy" and Pickup variants.
The example offered here was recently treated to a complete, frame
off, nut and bolt restoration where a tremendous amount of detail
was executed from start to finish. The truck is powered by its
bullet proof 3.6 liter inline 6 cylinder diesel engine, 4 speed
manual transmission and Toyota's go anywhere 4 wheel drive
system.
The presentation of this HJ45 is amazing. It is finely finished in
6H9 Olive Grey exterior paint over grey interior. Every square inch
of this HJ 45 has been restored to the highest standards. All the
hardware is stainless steel or properly anodized. The exterior
paint is stunning in color and application, the interior is
restored as new using correct seat material, newly upholstered door
panels, new rubber floor new knobs, pulls and trinkets, original
refurbished steering wheel and column, all new wiring etc. Under
the hood is highly detailed and correct in finish and appearance
and features all new lines, hoses, anodized fuel injection lines,
etc. The frame and undercarriage is fully restored as new using all
new suspension components, rebuilt steering box and componentry,
fully detailed frame, new correct hardware etc. This FJ 45's rides
on 16 inch steel wheels and factory hubcaps skinned with new
oversized Mickey Thompson 305/70/16 tires.
Mechanically this truck starts, runs and drives with no issue. The
motor is torquey and powerful, the transmission shifts smoothly in
all gears and the transfer case engages properly in high and low
when needed.
The Vintage SUV and truck market remain on fire and the Toyota
marque has earned the highest respect among enthusiasts, collectors
and investors alike. Premium examples as the one offered here are
in world demand and a very unique piece to add to your investment
portfolio.
