Hello - I would be grateful if someone could let me know the name and location of original oem pull switches/lights. About a year ago I bought my first FJ40 and the owner said it was a '67. It is a frakenstein with a 302 engine and the wiring is a disaster but the brake lights, headlights and blower work. I'm trying to get the dash to look a little more oem but I realize there are lots of extra holes. I just purchased some redline knobs, amazon pull switches, and cigarette lighter. I'd like to buy a retro stereo to fit the opening this week. Many thanks if you can help - JB

A) is 4x indicator lite
F) choke belongs elsewhere, that should be where the 4x pull cable goes (you must have floor shifters..
C) is low range rod pass through. It and lever gone
G) are bolt holes for for missing lever
I, j k, l m) are all wrong
Light switch is wrong
And those are bulb sockets below dash are either turn signal indicator or 4x indicator and that belongs in A above.
The radio hole as well as lights “whatever switch thing are wrong and hack!
The heater controls on a 67 belong on a three hole bracket plate below dash if you can find one. (First year factory heater, a unique box too)
That’s a big project and requires a welder etc if you want OEM. You could also just do a cleaner hybrid style. See Charlie’s link and search more.. the info is here

welcome to the world of PO, they do some bad things sometimes when they think they are doing good
from the looks of the left side windshield frame hook, the PO liked using a drill
so much stuff is wrong in the pics above
wonder how big the hole is behind the patch panel screwed to the dash with the white switch knob??
there was no stock radio back in 1967
also wonder what year it was actually made, a few more pics would help, does the windshield frame have a vent in it?

Heater was an option during 1964. By 1966 it was standard in the US market. To the left of the ashtray the high low transfer case shifter was mounted. There was also switch for 4WD. You could either pull the 4WD switch out or pull the High low lever and it caught and pulled 4WD switch.
There is a tread in the 40/55 section that has pictures of factory dashes. Didn't find that but another about 67 dash. Couple pictures from that thread.
I have not figured out how attach a link to a thread on my phone. Search "picture dash" and click on titles only should find all you need.

Thank you all very much for your help! I'm likely going to fix it up a bit, try to sell it, and get something more stock that costs more. It is fun to drive but so many things are hacked like the battery behind the passenger's seat because of the v8, wiring disaster, windshield mixmatch, etc. It has a vin replacement tag so who knows if it is actually a 67. Maybe there is a frame stamp. Thanks again

Frame is stamped on the right side just behind the bracket to mount the front bumper. There is a chart going back to 1964 to tell the month and year the cruiser was built.
I found my pics, my 69’ (Mongrel) had a bad cut up dash and I love the early dashes, and found a partial cowl. I kept the vaccuum FD and low range lever but will run twin std cause there cool.. but no hard plan what to make them activate, it has a new/use ARB in the front so that’s a good candidate for FD knob not sure with lever except the obvious “ejection seat” label!
