1965 FJ40 Belt size (1 Viewer)

Hi all,

I just purchased a 1965 FJ40 and I can't find a reference for the belt size. The local auto store says 43 inches without AC and 41 inches with AC but I don't really trust them. I'm sure there is someone in this group that knows exactly. Please help. Best regards, Tim

Use a string and measure it for exact fit

Original 1f engine? Original water pump and pulley? There was no factory A/C in 1965...

I went with a Gates 13A1090 before I found out that Toyota still stocks the OEM belt. Just over 43" and just over .5" wide. If you are non-stock, get some string and measure it.

While not factory Toyota did have a deal with a company in the us to provide A/C for the 40 series to their dealers. Technical bulletin is dated 1963. Never seen one but certainly would like to. Unlike the Eaton heater the A/C was obviously not that popular.

Oh wow, you just gave me a rabbit hole to head down.

Is your motor stock or have aftermarket AC ? If it's stock, just get the belt form Toyota. Same belt on the F motors.

Just don't tell them it's for a 65 so you can save time when the kid behind the counter trys to convince you Toyota didn't make a Land Cruiser before 3/69. I also see two different belts used depending on if it has a 40 amp or 55.amp alternator. 65 good chance it's a 40 amp.
