Antony any chance if you can trace out pattern for those seat brackets bolted on the floor. pre early 59 brackets and holes on the tub are configured differently than later 59 on.

Gabe, as I pointed out to @tahoe40/45 , in one of my previous reply. Another detail to look at is that bolt pattern for mounting driver seat brackets (behind tool box) on pre early 59 are different in configuration. (The one that is closer to the centre of the tub is where the difference is). In short they are mirror image of each other.
Check pics below for bolt pattern. My brackets are not original,

Thanks for pointing that out. I will post more photos soon for you guys to look over. I want to only paint it once! Any thing you guys see before that is much appreciated! Anything you see after it’s painted you can just keep to yourself.

If I had one of those I would bring you back one too. I do a lot of research looking for part numbers. Cross reference the Toyota ones with the original manufacturers numbers and then search the globe for the number until I get a hit. I do this a few times per week with the specialty parts I have been hunting.

pretty! I was really interested to see that you got a switch, I have several heaters but haven't ever really been able to figure out how they were originally switched. Admittedly, haven't dont a lot of research on that just yet. I see it in the wiring diagrams but don't know if Toyota used their own switch or if they had a Denso switch mounted under the dash like that one you've got.
At any rate, great find! Its always nice finding a part that doesn't require any restoration before you bolt it on!

Exactly! I will sell my old clamshells and save a ton of time not having to restore one. Time is money.

Can you get a good color match, before you install?
Looks great
