Picked Clean: 1971 Toyota Land Cruiser Skeletonized By Junkyard Vultures

Toyota Land Cruisers don't last long in self-service wrecking yards, as we saw with this '85 earlier in the summer. When I saw this '71 FJ40 a few weeks later, I could see the scavengers circling overhead. Now look at it!
All the easy-and-valuable goodies had been grabbed during the several days between being placed on the yard and my first series of photographs, but I knew that some portable-Sawzall-armed customer would want the sheet metal.
Sure enough, that's what happened.
The Chevy-based six in these trucks is pretty hard to kill and good-running examples are plentiful, so I'm guessing this engine will go to The Crusher with whatever fragments remain of the truck.
