Body looks pretty straight from picture, but missing hell lot of parts. But also got some ultra rare parts still on it such as door frames, headlight bezels, "T-Bird", indicator switch & possibly original steering wheelets. Also one rim I can see. Not sure if it is 1958 though.
Gotta be a 58 or 59 - it has the early style front crossmember.
I think that is #1, in Count the FJ25s
I thought it may be 59 only because of "T-Bird" emblem but also could be late 58. Although I know of at least two early 59 that had oval emblem on hood and Toyota Land Cruiser script emblem on fenders. So I always thought T-Bird emblem switch over happened some time around mid 59.
Early toyota stuff is full of oddballs - Check rear seat back (sheet panel) on the picture below, they have samilar ribs as front seats). I always thought the one below was early 59 but now I am convinced it could be 58 or even earlier truck.

Early FJ45V too.Think these tall mounted higher on the fender were used on the FJ35V?
Two of my 60 production FJ25s have that crossmember front craddled engine mount and the tall battery/tool box.
Believe this 25 is far from original. If earlier would have Toyota emblems like the tailgate on the aprons. Those are cool turn signals and probably of a early LC. Unless it was required for a certain market the 25's turn signals were where the bin lights are. Think these tall mounted higher on the fender were used on the FJ35V?
