I currently have the original short running boards.
It was marked FJ40L. I made the assumption that it was a FST. it also had button snaps under the hard top which made me think it had a soft top at one point. With a missing hard top and the button snaps, I assume it was a FST. Is there any other way to know? From the vin it is an early 65.
What exactly does that tell me about my cruiser? Is it a good or bad thing having the longer boards?
The factory records show that the short 23" running boards came on FJ40s through serial number 30000 in July 1964, and then the 33-5/8" running boards came on FJ40s through serial number 74537 in September 1969. How the trucks were titled depends on the registering authority for your jurisdiction.
