Should my 10/72 FJ40 have the fuel tank cover or the two hold down straps? I see pictures of both in '73 trucks. The EPC calls out the straps for 9/71 to 9/73. My truck came to me with a cover but there are no threaded holes for securing the back side and there are no brackets for the straps (maybe removed by PO?).
The fuel tank protector 77801-90300 didn't start until 9/73 according to the EPC.
As usual my 10/72 is proving to be difficult - using odd parts like the one year only gauge cluster and reverse light.
Band 77601-90903 (9/71 - 9/73)
Fuel Tank 77100-60041 (9/72 - 2/73)
Does anyone have a picture of one of these? Someone with an early '73 truck?
Looks like it could be like the one that was used thru 78 if the sketch is correct, with a different fitting on the side, as discussed on the CCOT site.
They talk about using their 72-78 tank in the 9/72 to 2/73 trucks by adding a piece of tubing at the tank connection.
Vapor Separator 77193-60010 (9/72 - 2/73)
Separator Protector 77194-60020 (9/72 - 2/73)
It appears the later style separator can be made to work with this cover by doing a little trimming.
