1964, front bumper color (1 Viewer)

[destin]

Hello,

Do any of you know if it was factory to have the front bumper painted the same color as the rig?

I see a lot of trucks with silver bumpers, but it seems as though mine was originally the same color as the body. What is more Authentic?

Thanks!

Destin

You can still get a new front bumper from the dealer for ~150.

I have pewter paint on the way to re-spray the jump seat frames etc.

looks like bumperettes were the color of the truck too. That's really interesting. Have we had this discussion before on what years did this?

Yeah my bumperettes are red too, not sure why the front bumper is red, thats why i asked to see what was considered factory

The previous owner may have painted it, but i dunno.

Should be body color.

Edit...the rear bumperettes should be body color as well.

Welcome to that sickness that only the purists understand

To be fair, that white 40 is a '61 model...notice the painted seat frames...they were silver/pewter on your '65.

 

[JohnnyC]

wiper motors and licenceplate bracket also body color

BTW notice the hoods on the red and white rigs...hardtop no holddowns and bumpers and soft top has the holddowns and bumpers

Destin I would love to see your rig with an OD green canvas top

Plus you will notice it also had arm rest front and back. That was a 1961 model only. FJ25s had two arm rests both they were as tall as the back of the seat.


My 1968 (1967 production date) had body color latches for the hood and windshield. Turn signals were pewer color along with the bumperrettes. Seat covers were grey. It was still all original when I bought it in 1974. 1965 would had body color turn signals and bumperrrettes. Seat would of been red. I'm thinking these changed with the 68 model. 68 Toyota made a lot of changes in the FJ40s.
