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.

That's great! I'll PM because I would much rather have something stock if possible.

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.
