I'll see what I can do. Its difficult to get much of a photo with the window installed in the door as much of the parts are hidden behind the steel panel. I'll see what I can get at.

Thanks, Mike

Its tough to get much of a photo of the insides. I'll dig a little deeper looking for the complete set of parts not installed in a door.

Door and window rubber came from Specter. The hardtop rubber was carefully reconditioned.

Thanks, Mike

I believe that it was original on my FJ40. When we started the restoration, there were fragments of the white color pyramid vinyl under the top frame of the running board. I have also seen photos of early FJ45LV wagons with the same white vinyl floor covering fresh from the factory.

Thanks, Mike

... What seat covers did you use? are they stock?

I will post some before photos tomorrow. The seats were done in a local upholstery shop to try and match the original ones.

Thanks, Mike
 
After looking through my pre-restoration photos, I don't think that these seats were stock and must have been replaced at some time prior to my involvement.

Here is the original material on the running boards. I have the same remnants on my 1960 FJ25.

thanks for posting those pics up. that's a really interesting set up. i have a set of those doors but they are missing all the regulator stuff.
 
Phenomenal job on your 1962. I just started mine. I have a question - do you have a close up of the piece that connects your T/C handle with the FD pull switch? It just donned on me that I will have the FD switch in a couple days, but don't have the piece that links the two. Also - did you blast & prep your tub, and if so did you use sandblaster/stripper combo., or how did you prep it so nicely?

Looks like I am missing a retaining pin on the bottom there. I outsourced the tub prep to a person that soda blasted the body. Not sure if they used any other methods in addition. Hope this helps. Mike
 
Excellent Mike. I have been collecting photos to reference during my next year of restoration, and this helps. Good looking build ! I'm going to drive mine this fall, then tear it down when winter arrives. Looking foward to it ! These elderly FJ40's are tough to find parts for, but they are awesome !!!
