Well.......I saw a lot of parts when I was at your place, I suppose some of them could have been FJ60 parts
Thanks for the offer Mike, probably take you up on that. Any chance of posting a pic of the wiper motor? But, if the 79 FJ40 motor is the same thing, I have one of those and could use the one I have?
And how about answering that mystery part question, what is flat thing and where does it go? How about the filler neck, will that work, should work better than the orginal I think? Where have you been anyway, haven't seen you answering everybody's questions like you usually do? Buy more LV's I suppose ;p
Thanks, Matt

I only bought one more...2 since you were down here
Holidays and work have me a little taxed...
I can take pics when I get home and I see no reason why that filler neck wouldn't work.

The one bracket almost looks like the one the wipers mount to. The first 2 pics are from the '64. I believe someone already borrowed the woper motor from the parts 60. Doesn't it bolt to the left hand side of the cowl?
The mystery bracket is the rear heater mount. It bolts under the front seat. My camera batteries just died. I'll post a picture in a second.

I went back an looked at your seat, and remembered you're going with buckets, you probably won't need that.
You could add an FJ60 or late model FJ40 center console, with the rear heater bulit in...or even an 80 series, cup holder, spot for your spare change, high-low blower...the possibilites are endless

Got about 7 hour in on the lv today, doesn't look like a ton of work but I did get a lot done.
Concetrated on the firewall and where the steering column goes through right away this morning. I had to weld in a piece and then fill some of the holes that were made when I drilled out the cage nuts. After everything was welded and ground it down and then put the template back on for the floor swivel that is going in. Marked that, drilled out the holes and the large hole. Still needs to be primed, but essentially is ready to go when I get the column.
Then onto the tranny hump. I had to cut the back 10" off first. Replaced some cage nuts, the cage nuts I had ordered a 100 - 6mm x 1.25 pitch several weeks ago just for this and a few other things that are coming up. I then makde paper templates and then steel of areas that were low or were a poor transition when I made the new rear portion of the tranny hump. I wanted everything to transition smoothly from one layer to the next with no little pockets for dirt and grime to get into.
I also widened the left rear side, I belive this may be required when I start doing the linkage for the 4 wheel drive lever and boot.
Plan is to get that rear tranny hump made tomorrow.

No, your right, now that I know what it is I don't need it.
I think I am going to use a rear round heater, but probaby fab up a new bracket for underneath the passenger seat. I plan on using the fan switch and heater valve knob / assembly out of the 79 FJ40 to accutate the rear heat. The front heat will be operated by the new knobs that come with the new AC/Heat unit.
Still need to figure out the 2 speed windshield wiper motor, maybe that 79 one will fit? Unless Mike find's his out of that 60
Planning on the center console, probably a tuffy with the seperate stereo compartment and drink holders. I thought of making my own because I had another idea in mind....... DVD player in the rear of the console for rear passengers
But, it all comes down to time and how hard to I want to work at this. Your right, the possibilites are endless, where does a guy stop 
Either way, Thanks Dan and Mike for the pics
Matt
Lookin Good.... As always
More nice work!

Nick

Matt,
I've been following the thread since page 28. You (and the wife) are doing a great job. I can't wait to see the finished product.
Your thread was the inspiration for me to document my A440F tranny rebuild for the 80.
Keep up the good work.
Sincerely, Jim.
