    Well I found a stock 1972 FJ40 and joined the club!

    Thanks I am really happy. I think it's all original. I am unsure about the engine though. Looking at the serial number and valve cover it looks like the engine is from early 1970. But then I seen a 1972 FJ40 for sale on craigslist yesterday with the same valve cover and oil fill arrangement...

    Well I found a stock 1972 FJ40 and joined the club!

    That's I am fixing the original gas tank. When my wife came out to the shop and looked at the passenger seat and asked what the heck is that black thing under the passenger seat I had to laugh. Safety wasn't that big of a concern back then.
