40th anniversary badge

[jpolk34]

I’m looking at a ‘97 40th anniversary edition (supposedly) and everything on it looks correct, but it is missing the badge by the shifter that says 40th and the number the truck is. I have two questions, one is there a place on the truck to find out what production number it was? Second, does someone make replacement badges with the correct numbers on them?

Thanks,
Jeff

I can't remember why, but some didn't come with the badge on the shifter console. Its still a 40th anniversary though!

The sage pearl or gray color.

The answer is no. The apron badges, floor mats, and console badge were added at the port…the only pseudo registration of the console badge numbers is a thread started on IH8MUD by @elmariachi, rest his soul.

Toyota did sell replacement center console badges, but they didn’t include serial numbers. @cruiserdan had/has one with the Toyota part number on the bag.

There are repos available, not sure if they can include a number.

In short, those center console badges (with numbers) were produced, distributed, and installed…with no official tie to the vehicle it was placed on (other than it was a 40th) and no record kept by Toyota.

Yup. Well put.
