Trans humps don't really rust often and are not hard to find, so retrofitting wouldn't be an issue.
I live in the desert where rust isn't a big issue. So, Is the floorboard in the front area the only one very prone to rust? The floor has a seam that runs across the front section of the seat mounts, maybe 3cm back from the front of the mount. Would it be easier to focus on making this section only since there are many American donor fj55's that have intact cargo and rear floorboards?
I'm currently working on the floor of my 1969 fj55, the only problem rust is around the seat mount/tower on the driver's side. Also, the seam on the passenger side under the mount has seperated, I'm not sure if it had more than a couple of tack welds and some sealer.

If you can post pics and tell us what years are associated with the pics, that would be great!
