I'm looking for the Passenger side front seat belt receiver for an 83 FJ40. I have an 83 that has an original drivers side OEM seatbelt receiver but the passenger side is not OEM. If you have one for sale PM me please. A pair from an FJ60 would be fine as well!

Greg, the ones I have or seen are a vinyl coated wire rope. Those look like they have regular seatbelt material inside the cover.

I am holding the Non-OEM receiver in the photo above. The drivers side is the OEM unit. 83's are apparently different than 79-82. Here's another shot of another 83 I owned - These are what I am looking for. Or a pair from an FJ60

never seen seatbelts later than 81. all those looked like these below. maybe 82-83 are the style you need?? might need to change the heading, as all the ones I've seen 79-81 are the ones in my pics

Yes I've had several 79's and you are correct. They apparently are different. It'll probably be a pain in the ass to find one like the one I need.

good luck with the search, I've not seen an 83 up close so it is new to me. the 2 of the ones in the rig are my 1980, you test drove in SD @ BHCC 13 years ago???

I have discovered that 1979 thru 1982 FJ40's all have the "cable type" seat belt receivers pictured above. It appears that in 1983, the FJ40 seatbelt receiver was totally unique - figures!

So, My goal is to have TWO that match and since finding an 83 is not going to be easy, I would be happy to use a pair from an FJ60. They are pretty darn close.
