73 FJ....Under the front seat ? (1 Viewer)

[1Shooter]

Under the front seat of my 73 FJ there is a round object that is part of the floor pan...Looks like a seat mount, but its not centered...Anyone have any idea what this is or was for..?

Does it look like this?
Oem tool strap is correct... placement of jack handles and tool roll are not

This shows why calling it a FJ is not a good idea. You have a FJ55 not a FJ40 which is what most threads in this section are about. I know it's confusing because the section is 40/55 tech but at the bottom of the main page is a 55 section which would probably get you just as good if not better answers.

Hello 1Shooter,

It would have been better to identify your ride as a "73 FJ55" instead of just "73 FJ" since virtually every response you received was from the FJ40 crowd...

Yes the round spot is for a rear heater. It would have had 2 heater hoses running to it and a blower fan inside of it. You should have a switch on the dash indicating the rear blower fan.

sorry..

I'll take that as a "Thank you for the heads up".

Hey, no worries. I'd make the A/C work since you've got it.
