Sorry to hijack the thread but 1 last question... What are the major "tell tale" signs that It is a Factory floor shift OR that it used to be a column shift?
Really? Wait... so your saying that Floor shifts weren't "Standard" back when? :confused:
Was it just for a certain year or before a certain year?
Cos my 1964 appears to be a factory floor shift... :hhmm:
That's a really nice Truck!
I think it looks fantastic just he way it is!... Except i'd have the headlight surround white to match the roof.
Oh and im interested to see what the experts say in answer to all your questions!
I having the same problem here in Oz trying to find a lockable gas cap to fit my 1964 FJ45... All the ones i seem to find are just a little bit too small in diameter and will pop out with a little wiggle and movement.
*sigh* :doh:
Well that might be something i'd have to look into.
But since it doesn't have seat belts... pretty sure ill be no where near the Truck if she ever did roll... :D
And out of the 8 vehicles i currently own, only 2 of them have seat belts, so im pretty used to this sorta thing by now.
Anyways...
Why wouldn't i think about it? Would i be asking all these Q's if i didnt want to? :lol:
Hell yeah i'd like to see how it looks and drives topless.
Why wouldn't it be classified as a "rollbar" ? :confused:
That's a cool looking Truck!
Nice body shape and i like that shade of green on it with the white roof.
You going to keep it the same colors?
Welcome to IH8MUD.
SO... Looking at this pic attached... It meets both those criteria?
Note Rollbar on the back and the body mounted mirrors. I think it gets a Tick in both Boxes right?
Well Here is my 1964 FJ45 LWB removable top. FJ45-20081
Just bought it today for $4800. Been driving it around all day today.:steer:
Really happy with it so far. Very enjoyable to drive and its good to finally own a Truck now so i don't have to borrow my father's 6x4 trailer anymore. ;p

Bought and paid for today! It looks so much more happy parked in my Driveway. Ill be making a "Hello" introduction thread about me and the Truck now. But i...
So your saying if the mirrors are mounted on the body just before the doors (like on mine) then door removal is OK? :confused:
And for Roll over protection, i have a roll bar on the back of the custom tray on the FJ45. :wrench:
Ill be posting pics of mine tonight when i pick mine up in an...
Its been raining continually all night and day today here... So i think this will be one of the first things i will tackle on my FJ45.
When i pick up the car in an hours time from the guy im buying it from, ill look at the door rubbers. I already know it needs new weather stripping around where...
Seems like it was a labor of love.
Was it much trouble to track it down?
And what made you decide to track THAT one down and not just buy a similar one instead?
Oh yeas... and what is an "Aggie" ? BTW the personalized plate was a nice touch.
Also do a similar Photo when its finished with the...
