I got a FJ40 rear sill from Dan. Great communication and parts!
 
Rear Sills

All sills include the cover piece except for the late model which doesn't have one and is a two piece construction. All sills include the captured nuts for the tire carrier and it's bump stop as well as the ambulance doors where applicable. The covers have holes for you to plug weld it on.

'58 - 12/74
01/75 - 08/76
09/76 - 12/78
01/79 - 12/84

Interesting notes:
The middle two years differ only in the type of tire carrier.
The sill has four body mounts from '58 through to 12/78 and then has just two.
There are other sills such as FST that would be different.
My sills are one piece with welded seams. The end horns are not welded on, they are part of the main channel.
Captured nuts are all metric M8
Sill dates are not exact... Toyota used up old parts later and used new parts early. If your rig is close to the change over make sure which one you need.

Are these still available somewhere? I checked the 4 wheel auto site, nothing was showing like this

[EDIT] Changed the model in the search and started seeing many other items. Still no sill though

According to the first post in this thread you have to call the number on the website and talk to Dan.

This thread sort of died down, I assume 4wheelauto.com is still handling all your stuff kevin? I emailed Dan about a sill. Just checking up in here though.
 
Yes, that’s right, Dan at 4wheelauto is handling all of my sales these days. I’m sending him five sills next week actually.

Kevin, do you still make the rear frame brace for a 60s LWB 45? Also the rear bed conversion panel to larger 40 tail lights? Thanks
 
Yes, I can make those but I don’t keep any stock. All parts are made to order. Once the order is placed it takes about 4-5 weeks to manufacture before Dan can ship them out.

4wheelauto does keep a few higher volume pieces in stock but I don’t have access to his inventory so you would need to call Dan and see what he has.
 
Hi Kevin,

I stumbled into your post, beautiful work!! Do you fabricate FJ45 bed floors? I have a Saudi spec 1980 FJ45, the bed floor was restored by hand back in Dubai, it's not to my liking. I would like to replace it, looks good in the photo not in person. I'm located in Northern CA. Thanks!!

Would you happen to have the forward support bracket for a BJ42? Under the floor boards at firewall?
 
How I can contact you Kevin,I from Calgary. Thanks

This information is clearly written in the first post of this thread
