@Brian/99uzj100 I am not familiar how the CA DMV works but here in NC it was really simple. I called the NCDMV and asked for a history of the FJ40 I purchased and I received full records, copies of sales receipts and old titles from all the previous owners and the original selling dealership as well. Made for interesting reading and the records are part of the vehicle history I am keeping in a binder with build and repair photos and other receipts.

David, I mailed my REQUEST FOR RECORD INFORMATION forms on July 23rd, I'm still waiting...
I talked with someone in technical support because the online search didn't work for me, and they transferred me to records, then they told me what form to fill out and mail with $5.

I also googled Toyota dealerships and used the code on the top line of my warranty card, but no info came up.

Here's a more complete warranty card someone posted online. That's how I found out the top # is a dealer code.

Where is the tag located on the passenger fender well? is that under the battery tray?

Here's where the plate is on my '76, inner passenger fender beside the battery.

There's also one on the driver's door jam with less info.

Intake # is on the top towards the rear of the engine. I had my carb and insulator plate off.
Head # is on the top of the drivers side towards the front of the engine.

In the section of the registry of 82’ cruisers... just look at the engines ... falls right in line

Recently bought a fj40. Sat in a barn for many years P.O. may have lost title but is looking it/ willing to apply for new title. He thinks 1970 or 71. Looked at SORs info and from what I see it looks like it might be a 67.
VIN fj4049263
Engine f240622
Any help on this would be awesome.

5/67 .... 100% it’s a 67’ model year truck

@Andy Lindsay

If you post up in a seperate thread the truck with pictures ... it may be a Frankincruiser made from different years ... but... vin is 67’

This is my FJ40. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

My FJ40 is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life.

Without me, my FJ40 is useless. Without my FJ40, I am useless. I must drive my FJ40 true.

My FJ40 and I know that what counts in life is not the miles we drive, the noise of our engine, nor the smoke we make. We know that it is the journey that counts. We will journey.
