Nice rig.

Dig the power wagon too.
I have a 74 myself.

After getting the wipers remounted I'll need to replace the muffler and tailpipe. It would appear to me to be the original exhaust system- altough I have no way to verify that. Tried to buy an OEM muffler and tailpipe from my local Toyota dealer but he told me those pieces are no longer available. Where's the best place to buy a good straight round muffler and good fitting tailpipe? If I don't find something soon I'm probably going to utilize my local muffler guy- he does good work and is reasonable in price. Any suggestions here?

It for now, will welcome any comments or suggestions. Thanks, Gary S

$OR has a muffler-tailpipe assembly for early 40's, from the description, I don't think it's stock...may be just as easy to go local.

I've seen a complete system on eBay before

Don't know how it would last on the e coast?

Just bought a collection of older FJ stuff, included in it (and the plum of the lot) is an original 62 FJ40, VIN is FJ4014390. Brought all the parts home yesterday just waiting for my rollback guy to bring the 62 and a parts 67 to my place. The truck is interesting to say the least and by far the oldest land cruiser I've yet owned. Title says 44K original on the odometer and I bought it from the third owner who never licensed it. Has a Krause Motors sticker on the roof- they sold Toyotas in Schecksville PA way back when. This truck looks to be original and unmolested in most every normal way. A tree had fallen on the driver side front corner of the roof while in the hands of the second owner, bent the WS frame and slight disfigured the roof. The guy I bought it from runs a restoration garage and straightened the frame- it just needs some cosmetics to finish and prep for paint. Three on the tree, 4WD works as it should and it has Husky lockout hubs! The front doors are rust free as is the tailgate-both bottom and top. It has the funky fold up upper tailgate (never saw one of these before, either). The jumpseats are there, too and not in bad shape. this thing starts and runs fine, engine sounds great. Needs brake work, some tires, and the windshield addressed and then I am hoping to just drive it, no repaint, nothing like that. It also has the original jack, jack rods, and a really full toolkit in a big canvas wrap- and the fan that cools the driver is also there! No radio. Only rust is the rear sill and very lower part of the rear quarters. Any comments or corrections any of my information are welcome- looking to learn more about the earlier trucks. Gary S in PA

62 FJ40

Thanks for all the comments and information, all is appreciated. Will post a few pictures of the truck with the seats installed, doors and tailgate back in place. I am going Wednesday to look at what apears to be a real nice hardtop- mine was damaged when the tree fell on it and bent the top of the WS frame driver side. If rthis other top is usable as is and I can make a good deal i will buy it. I'm also sending along some pics (barely legible) of new WS seals I got with the truck. Can anyone tell me if windsield glass differs between my 62 FJ40 and the later model 40 series? By the way, that's my 76 40 in the other garage stall in the one picture. Gary S

Looks like the original spare tire.
