Son's FSJ is a 1967 J3000.  Mark bought it because he could afford
it, it looks cool and is big.  It's got the Rhino Chaser grille and
has a great look to it.  The previous owner did a spring over conversion on it.

It is a model 3406W, 1/2T with the factory Kaiser 327 V8 with a 2 barrel
Holley carb, three on the tree T-85, Dana 20, Dana 44 axles for and aft
with 3.73 gears and 30x9.5 inch tires

Mark has, with minimal help from Dad:
- fixed the rusted floorboards
- installed the ARB H4 wiring loom 
- fixed the gas tank
- ripped out the old seat and installed the old seat from Dad's FSJ
- cleaned out years of Dairy farm use
- replaced door seals
- fixed the windows
- tuned the 327 and adjusted the carb
- fixed leaking hoses
- fixed the turn signals 

Plans include:
- axle upgrades and bigger tires
- CD player
- front end lift


hope this helps. :)
