Anyone have an fj40 79-81 radio that's sitting around collecting dust? Mostly just hoping to fill my radio hole for looks. Thanks!

I have an older kraco radio/casette player that was installed back in the day on my 79. Have the whole thing in a box.

Much appreciated. I'm hoping for more of a stock version but thanks for sending. Cheers!

You could get a face plate from @ToyotaMatt and find any number of vintage Toyota radios (both AM and AM/FM) to fit it. Just watch out for the depth as you will interfere with the heater. PM me if you are interested in pursuing, I have a few radios that could work for you.
Those aftermarket radios don't fit and can require mangling the radio opening in the dash.
This would be proper for your truck, 78 - 80.
or this one, 80/81

That's great! I'll PM because I would much rather have something stock if possible.You could get a face plate from @ToyotaMatt and find any number of vintage Toyota radios (both AM and AM/FM) to fit it.

Not 100% sure but once the cowl vent was eliminated completely think depth should not be a problem. It's the recessed vent that was right behind the radio opening. Believe that went away in 77 when a factory heater installed. Online parts venders show 78 but plenty of 77 without the Welded close vent.
I have a bunch of non working Toyota radios and some aftermarket faceplates
Here's a couple

How much for the one in the lower right?
I have one available in Los Angeles Ca.
Any of those radio is 24V with AM & FM? Or which one can fit on 1979 BJ40?

All FJ40 radios from Toyota are AM only. The 24V units are harder to find but I have a couple (AM only with face plate) if you are interested, send me a PM.
The original is still there, never used/doesn't work. Thinking I could get away using FM transmitter could do a trick, while still finding a stock radio. The later models (hilux etc) have AM and FM but 12v.

One of the old FM converters would work.
Thanks @Engineer8000 that gives me an idea. I could use a stock 12v AM and FM radio that fits perfectlly from FJ (like @447xpro) or Hilux etc. Then use a 24v to 12v converter. not experienced on converters, need to find out more. If all fails, I will go ahead with FM converters.
