Anyone have production numbers?

[dmaddox]

Does anyone have the production numbers or more importantly the import numbers for 63 FJ45 swb's?

Wondering how many were made, how many delivered to the USA, etc...

Probably some simple link I am missing somewhere.

Thanks guys,

Dallas

SOR has a chart, but it does not go back to 1963

I read somewhere on tlc4x4.com that 500 swb were brought to the US.

I wonder, would the "produced" number be total production world wide?

Oh, the 45P and 45LPB produced numbers are blank.

What about a cab and chassis search?

not very helpful for the pickups.

am almost sure many more than that came into the US

the long beds were by far the most common, my guess is at least 5000 pickups of all types in the US

Well, I have a 70 RoadRunner and as many of you may know you can send your info into Galen Govier and he will tell you your car is 1 of ?? and originally came with XX options, etc...

Wouldn't that be neat for the FJ45's?

Based on the sticky in the forums, there are a ton of 65+ but hardly any (what 3 or 4 listed) 63 and 64's?

Just for scrapbook purposes am trying to get a ballpark on the 45. Like, 1 of ?? kind of thing. Not trying to be self-absorbed or arrogant in saying "ooo my truck is THIS or that", just for personal scrap-booking and record keeping. Plus - like the mopar, is kinda neat to know.

Thanks - Dallas

does your 63 have the fixed(NO way to drop it) front window frame?

if so, not many of those

 

[dmaddox]

Here is a picture of the window frame. It is bolted inside, and has solid plates instead of hinges on the outside (as you can see). i would imagine that if I removed the roof, unbolted all of those plates, it *might* be able to fold down. Otherwise its a fixed top to my knowlege.

[dmaddox]

could be anytime in 63..cant say, but 64(sometime) was the switch to removalbe tops was made

that green SWB is cool.I have never seen(or just didn't notice) one without a non removable windshield before.

 

[miker]

same here, never knew such a thing existed. If I had ever ran across one, I probably would have thought it was modified.

Mud is so cool.

Neat advert. I had presumed the tire carriers in the FJ40 style were an add on. So I'm guessing then that the tail lights on the frame were factory.

Were the beehive tailights just for 1964?

Wow, oil filter was standard equipment. That's good to know...
