Who knows the date of this original Toyota over flow bottle ?
Anyone?

City Racer makes a repo of that style. I bet it was added

It may be mid 70's from an fj40: Used Fj40 Round Coolant Overflow Tank W/ Bracket 75-77 - https://cruisercorps.com/products/used-fj40-round-coolant-overflow-tank-w-bracket-75-77

+1 for added, @65swb45 would know for sure I bet!

 

[cppilot]

Yeah, I’m thinking mid 70’s. I thought I read it somewhere also. Cool nonetheless, I really like the shape.

 

[Bear]

Are you asking because the bottle is stamped "ND" for No Date ? Ha !

 

[cppilot]

Got the new wiring blocks installed and all the lights work….Progress.
I really hate wiring…..this one has not been messed with. Bonus

 

[cppilot]

Good one Michael… had to think about that for a minute.

Got 40+ miles on old Blue Jay early before the 110 degree heat hits again. Didn’t miss a beat.

 

[cppilot]

Can’t believe it’s 110 here. I hope the grapes don’t mind The heat

 

[cppilot]

Just daring it to rain……

The only thing this needs is a Dobinson or OME 2” spring set and some acorns

Gotta love the early green 4WD light…..still working after all these years. Priceless

Such a great truck.

 

[middlecalf]

Does this have the underbed spare tire rack?

 

[cppilot]

Yes it does Paul.

Original glass except for the front and back.
