Looking for a set of stock seats for my 66 fj40 anyone got any for sale?

I’ve got a set from a ‘68— not sure if they are the same. Maybe some one can chime in if they know

How much would you sell them for?

 

[Dallas Todd]

I have them up for 550$ locally, but I’m open to offers. Not sure what these are going for—-I’m in north Dallas area—-shipping may be $$$ depending where you are

I learned the hard way before I opened my shop that while close, they are different. If it's not a resto, it's not a biggie.

I'm REALLY dusting off cobwebs for this, but IIRC, the inside leg of the passenger seat is either shorter or longer between the two years. And the outboard leg was definitely shorter, and the mounting tab turned 90 degrees between one and the other.

I have a '68, and I put in seats from a 66. I think I had to add a spacer and use a long bolt for the outboard leg.

I was just trying to get my rig on the road, and the seats were only $75.

HTH

I really like when for sale ads turn into tech! Helps clarify the differences between years. I think @65swb45 and myself ( more so Mark, remember the $75 seats and $1500 fj45’s

I got my 66 from the original owners family. All 100% original. But faded lol

I can get lost thinking about those. Yeah, times have changed, glad I hung on to some at least, cause it'd be a commitment to start now.

Ive got a set from a 65.
rear jumps are rough but the bucket and the bench are pretty good
