Long bed 40 series (Newbie Question) (1 Viewer)

[toadshade]

OK, so I am an 80 guy. I love my F80 and I am looking for an HDJ now. But I have started looking into the 40 series or the 45. I wanted to know what to look for if I wanted a 45 drop top. I know absolutely nothing about 40 series. I have seen some photos of some 40 series long beds with canvas tops. But so far I have not seen them with the tops down. So I don't really know how many come that way. I use the truck pretty hard. I don't care about the back seats. Storage is more important. And the more storage area the better. That is one of the reasons I have the 80. But it would be really nice if I could take the top off (Insert chopped 80 series tops here). I am not worried about the work. Looking for a project.

A long “40” that is not a pick up, FJ45, is a FJ43. Most all have soft tops and were not imported into the USA.

There is plenty to read about and images of FJ43’s at the tips of your fingers.

Be advised that they're quite cramped in the legroom department.

The longest 40 series that is not a pickup is a FJ45. Here is a factory soft top I used to own that is currently for sale by the current owner.

Very nice. I am going to take a better look when I can use something other than my phone. I think the 45 is definitely what I am looking for. I will send you a PM about some questions motov8r.
