This is what LIVING IN THE PAST said:

"I have a technial bulletin from 62 that states soft top models witn no longer have the pintle hook standard and for dealers not to report it missing. Unlike other items no VIN was listed as a time it changed. Only two things about 100% sure of. Hard top models never came with a tailgate and cruisers with a tailgate did come a rear step. My very early 61 hard top did have a pintle with eye bolts for the trailer safety chains. I also believe just because a cruiser came with pintle hook that didn't mean it had the trailer light wiring with a plug".

its interesting that the pintles were not the same... very close but still different

You can barely see the picture in the FJ25 microfiche has the small ridge on the upper half. The 1961 parts manual appears to show no ridge. Keep in mind that is an artist's rendering though.

Factory literature and magazines showing the pintle

I was looking at the lock head... seems a bit more blunt end on nuke's then the other one

Also nukes has the bolt thru for the release where as the older has A flush pin

And the ribs going to the 4 mounting bolt areas seem a bit different as well

The black ones by them selves don't have a ridge on the lock head at all

BTW... Thanks for collecting and posting these together

I may have just caused a tear in the fabric of space and time! With a little research, it appears 200 series parts fit on my FJ25! Toyota hasn't changed the design much at all over the years

the bracket wasn't used on the early models and the bolts were shorter to accommodate.

does the bracket go behind to reinforce or in front to space the pintle out farther on the 200

WOW, thank's Treeroot, I just ordered my two eyebolts! The pintle and backer are not available. It appears early cruisers did not use the 51987 bracket. John

Here is a photo of the eyebolts side by side. The thread size and pitch are the same. If you don't use the plate, you can cut down the bolt and rethread it. I threaded both nuts on to the opposite bolt to verify they were the same.

Great, thank you Mike. I will drop JimC a line and see if he has any of this material.

Bad News, eyebolts not available in Calif. Could someone check out another market area? Thank's, John

The OEM pintle hooks--which are still available--come with the eyebolts. You cannot get them separately from Toyota anymore.

 

[Living in the Past]

Just curious could the spacer be installed behind the crossmember? That way no mods would be required. Also looks like the pintle hook has never been update to have a cotter pin to lock it closed?
