Hey guys, just wanted to let you know that I am incorporating a brochure archive into the site. If anyone has a classic FJ40 brochure please give me a shout and I'd like to get it scanned and uploaded so everyone can enjoy/use them. Thanks!
Thanks a ton for all the work done on the codes!!! I can't wait to see the brochures. 
You might want to check with LandPimp...he's the man to see about this stuff. That I remember, he's got stuff on his site that just made me day dream...so I went out and purchased my own original Brochure for the '64.

Thanks, I'll go look him up right now.
1st; Awesome job on the chart. Thank you for your effort.
I just bought a January 1970 FJ40 that appears to be have been orig white. Your chart seems to skip 1970 for both of the whites. I cannot locate the paint code on the only data plate I can find (on the pass side inner fender).
Do you have any idea where the right data plate should be? Any other idea on white for 1970?
Thanks again

Not sure about this... I haven't gotten that information yet so I won't be any good. Anyone?
Great Chart
This chart is incredible!!! I am in the middlew of trying to decide on a new color for my 1980 BJ 40. The PO picked a kind of burgundy from God knows where. Per the firewall plate it was originally 681 green which doesn't wow me either. I noticed that both dark copper and copper metalic share the same paint code 474. Is that typo? If not both are on my list of possibilities, does anyone have a pic of a cruiser in that color. Again great work scionlife. a really valuable contribution.

Wow, there was a lot of good stuff there. Too bad I just spent $20 on some of those LC brochures that I could have just clicked "save" on.
The unknown year brochures that are between '65 and '66 are some that I just bought. they came with a Stout brochure, which I believe was sold in the states between 64-68, so that might narrow it down a bit.

Glad it helped you out! Not sure about the two different color names... most of that information was provided by others.
What the hell...I clicked on your link, and windows just started opening like crazy...had to turn off the computer! I tired again, but this time no such problem ?!?
Anyways, any way to get high rez copies of the stuff you posted?
And finally...looking great so far, but how come none of the charts have the colors from 61 to 67?
Keep up the good work

It couldn't have been my website that opened a lot of windows, possibly a virus or a bug in your browser?
For now the highest res is what is up on Picasa. I have higher-res scans here, but I am working on so many brochures that I don't want to start emailing out large files or else I'll do nothing but that. Once I get more of these brochures scanned I might switch from Picasa to Flickr or something that offers full resolution.
I rely on enthusiasts to send me information to populate the charts, and no one has sent me anything for those years yet. These charts are works in progress and are constantly being updated.

Not that I'm really ready for it, I'm a LONG way from paint, but anybody have any info on Jan. 1970 FJ40 white? Would it be Cygnus White? Thanks for any help.
