You will find far better answers and more info here, than on all the faceplace groups combined.

I'm trying to find if it's a 6465, all the markings. I find including the vin number, say it's a sixty five.Can anybody confirm fj40-32936 comes up as a 1 of 65. The little coin on the lower corner is stamped T-65

I would go with 1/65 the t65 is saying it was sold in 65, some sat on the lots for a year or more and would get the brass stamp year sold.

T-111 plywood exterior siding! I love the corrugated tops! “You always remember your first!”

Fiberglass top. The only wood on it is on the back glass interior

I daydreamed when I was younger about outfitting an early corregated top 40 with shallow cabinets on both side panels for shelter camping, as there were no corner windows to obstruct. I ended up building wooden sleeping platforms in both my 40s as proof of concept. Just never did the side panel thing.

My first shop, across the street from where I am now, was a cabinetry shop. Wood is my first love.

I got the title today and I can now confirm it's a 1965. With as far as I can tell a all number matching fj40

Trying to turn the engine over by hand. What tool do I need to hook into the pulley.

An oem hand crank.
Easier to try from the flywheel.

Congratulations on your 65.

Maybe a little Marvel Mystery Oil (or other) in the cylinders to help persuade a rotation.

Ok well I removed all the extra parts. Removed all the garbage and rubber floor liners and newspapers that was played nicely under the rubber liners. Found cancer (bad) . Ive been looking for replacement floor pans and nothing of my year. What years does the 65 cover that I can use/order new remanufactured floor pan, rear door drip edge and inner wheel wells. Ill attach some more photos.

Congrats on your wife's Christmas present. I looked at this rig in December. Many hard to find pieces, throw nothing away until you've learned what's Toyota, even if they seem grungy, rusty, non-OEM, or broke.

 

[Jltoycrawler]

So do to circumstances, I'm thinking about putting my FJ40 up for sale. What do you guys think I can get for it?

 

[HelloKitty65]

Sorry your circumstances changed. Having seen it when it was on the market, I'd say about what your wife paid for it (if she paid the asking price). It will be a fun restoration for someone, and in the best old iron vintage, IMHO.

 

[CruiserTrash]

I'm going to follow along for when you get an idea of what you want for it. Sad to see circumstances change, but that's life and happens to all of us. All the best man.

We are still trying to make some things work out. Im hoping to keep it. However we will see. Keep your fingers crossed.
