HELP!!!

The last thing I need for my truck is the rear license plate frame.
I once had one but the shop that had my truck for a bit has refused to return the one I dropped off with the truck. I believe they lost or sold it and can’t replace it. Now I don’t get a response from them.

I will make it worth while for anyone who can help bring one forward.
Here are some photos I have posted of that type of frame. I don’t seem to find anyone with one or one that has sold in the past.

Any help would be huge for me.

I am so close to done with this truck and just want to close that gap.

Thanks to everyone that has helped me in the past. You are appreciated more than you know.
I plan to take some professional photos soon and videos of it running.

I made one for my FJ25. Same for early FJ45s, but just built upside-down. I had a shop bend me some pieces then I assembled it. Then just add the still available FJ40 license plate light.

Here you go Archie.

This was on Craigslist a couple of times, i ended up with it a few years ago.
As far as i know it was on a ranch in N. California for some time in its life. It was originally that kind of old school army green color, the darker green was added to the outside, with some nice over spray on the inside.
One day it went in for a clutch job, only to hang around until the shop went out of business. Before it got back to the owner the transmission went missing. So it sat around for a while, then went to a friend of original owner, sat around for a while, then i got it...

I think that is the route I will have to go. I would be interested in seeing what you have if you come across it.
Thanks for the info!!

Got the truck running real good. Then finished hooking up the PTO and ran that for a bit to install the rope. Pretty neat winch and I can only imagine the things it’s been used on.

And some finishing touches with this beautiful emblem.
