Wanted Bed and roof for 1977 FJ 45

Location

United States

Hi folks, looking for a bed and roof panel for my new to me restoration project. A beautiful truck from the original owner with only 56k miles. Was in storage for over 30 years.

I’ve looked at Topnault, Troa, etc, but would prefer to buy a Toyota bed to restore. These are very scarce here in Atlantic Canada, so I’m happy to travel. I’ll be in Alberta/US west in August. I tried Dan at 4Wheelauto with no luck.

Any thoughts/leads are appreciated.

Toyota Landcruiser fj45 pick up cab - auto parts - by owner - vehicle automotive sale - craigslist

Toyota Landcruiser fj45 pick up cab - Earlier style fj45 pickup cab. Has been metal dipped. For its age is in pretty good shape. As is or can be restored to primer and/or paint for additional cost.

Try Scott out on the Oregon coast. May have one around

if you wanted fiberglass, Gozzard was making a replacement roof

I’ll take a look. I used to play hockey in Goderich when I was a kid. Nice little town. Gozzard boats are very high quality, so I imagine his parts are the same.

The gozzard roof cap is nice. Mine has served me well for 15 years but due for a gel coat to get it to stop leaching white residue lately. One thing to note is that it is more shallow, ie, has less depth to the height of it from rim to peak of cap.

This guy is in Australia, but man is he a talented fabricator. Doesn’t hurt to send him a message and ask if he would be willing to make one for you. Sawyer Metalcraft - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61570158148468&mibextid=wwXIfr

I had luck shortening a 79 series take-off bed for mine I found and do see available in the US from time to time. Slightly less than original but a toyota land cruiser bed none the less. Cruiserparts.net has some and may be a source for an original bed. HTH

Bought this in case I ever came across a Fj45 LWB that needed a new bed. Still in pieces for easier and less expensive shipping. Surface rust on some of the parts from sitting in my garage. I have both valance versions and tailgates to choose from. Limited hinges available. If your not familiar with the quality of Awl_TEQ parts read these threads.

This thread is intended to document my building of LPB beds for the general interest of the community and for my clients to follow along. I believe the 45 section is where this thread belongs but if it is not appropriate for this section I do apologize and the MODS should feel free to move it...

There’s a guy on FB selling them for $250.
