Default should i part out fj40 & fj55?

i am the proud owner of 2 and a half fj40's (' 70, ' 71, ' 78 parts) and a fj55 ... trying to decide if it is worth trying to make one or two good good cruisers out of em. the 70 fj40 has a frame over, 4 speed w/ transfer case and rear axle out of the 78 parts car... pretty decent old body w/ rust/rot in floor, frame over axle & funky double yoke steering, engine runs solid needs manifold gasket; the 71 has the rear end of the frame and tub rotted off (brand new SOR engine) w/ 4 speed out of a 74 and transfer case; i still have the 3 speed transfer case and transmission from the 70 - 1st gear needs rebuild... the fj55 is april 71 and is complete except for drive shaft and front seat, w/ aftermarket montgomery ward air conditioner... hasn't run in a long time! the 55 has 3 speed and 3 speed transfer case; BEAUTIFUL back seat, all glass, rust in usual places except MUCHO around rain gutter and through roof above rain gutter... i have two hardtops for the fj40's one a 78 and one a 70...

help me out guys; i am getting old and figure i could be dead before i get these projects finished... have found a good 71 fj40 frame though and am considering it.

please post your opinions, thoughts, flames or whatever or email me

thanx
