Great summary - thanks.rehashed over and over, but....
1981/2 FJ60's are odd balls with poor parts support (ala it's own steering box).
1981-1983 and even to 1985 headliners suck (esp the early). The "foam" style are really better.
H55 swaps can be done to any, but t-case will not work from 8/80 to 1983 (7th month, maybe earlier). I had one in my May 1983 (used H55/t-case combo) easy fit.
4/5 1985s and later directly take a H55- but I did not say you can't go earlier (see above). Driveshafts (retube about $100-$200 depending on location), gear shift lever (t-case) and a 5 minute grind on bellhousing that's it.
11/1985+ get 38mm t-cases- the best case Toyota made IMNSHO.
4/5 1985 + will even accept FZJ80 steering boxes as replacement.
FJ62's- I don't have a fondness for them, especially the common 10mpg feature (most get that, don't argue the truth!). E windows and auto are downside. Steering wheel/dash is much better than FJ60, rear sway bar, and rear shoulder seat belts are common.
I'd like FJ62's if they were EFI 2F's (3F head on 2F) or carb 3F's (non US) and a H55.
is any diffrence between 60 & 62's frame?
which engine is better in difficult situation?

Truck has little rust on it but haven't seen it. Worth it? BTW, I am 6'9" and wonder if I'll even fit in the darn thing.
all 62's in north america is auto transmission?
