I am interested in learning what differences exist between the 1969 FJ40 model year (imported from Japan and sold by USA Toyota dealerships) produced prior to 03/69 and after 03/69. I am the original owner of a 1969 FJ40 (08/68) imported by Toyota through the port of Houston and purchased off the showroom floor in Fort Worth, Texas. I have kept everything as original as possible with OEM parts when available. When I order parts, sometimes the 03/1969 part is the correct fit and sometimes the same component made for 1968 and earlier models ends up being the correct part. My FJ has the F engine (3900 cc) with three on a tree and a “California smog pump” although it was not required to enter the port of Houston.
What known differences have you learned between pre and post 03/69 for model year 1969 FJ40 produced for export to the USA?
