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.
