It looks like someone hacked a radio hole in that one you are looking at. If you do decide to go retro, get a dash that hasn't been hacked up with extra holes, they are available. I am personally fond of the early dashes.
I will leave the dash as it is. I will get another 40 at one time with the older dash. I dont want to destroy the originality of the truck...
What is the width of the holes for the dash pulls? Looks like 2 sizes?
Anyone know what is this for?
Edit: Finally found it... cowl vent. I don't think it ever worked before I took it all apart 10 years ago so forgot it even existed.

Here's my '69 fj40 dash.
Anyone know what the hole above left of the ignition is for? It has an oem rubber plug in it, but I've never seen it before.
Doesn't show it in the manual either.
I have an original 1969 FJ40 and that hole/plug is not there. I know as second owner on mine no mods were ever done. The manual picture is exact to mine.

why do you think that is an OEM rubber plug?
almost certain that is not an OEM hole
Has toyota part number on it, but i havent checked what its actually for. You guys must be right. PO mustve drilled for some reason, then repurposed the plug. Definitely no wiring connection behind it. Wouldve been nice if it was in the correct location for the brake warning light. Oh well.
I realize I’m a bit late to the party but here’s my March 79 I believe everything is stock with the exception of the toggle switch under the headlight switch. Hope it helps out somebody.
Some pics of my 6/77, CA truck.
Fog light switch is out of place, for sure. I'll likely move that over to the hole to the left of the wiper control.
The rectangular red brake / seatbelt indicator was mounted on a bracket attached to the bottom of the dash panel, close to the driver's door.
Are the two fittings in the last picture clips for the lower dash pad, or something else?
Any other 6/77 dash pics out there??

Found a pic of that light where it's been since I bought the truck in 2012.
Anyone know what the 3rd space on that light would have been for, or have that light mounted in the same location?
Awesome! Thanks for that info. I'll read up on it.
Thanks. Seems like the right location for that. I'll pop them out next time I'm in the shop and confirm.
This is a 1975 usa - spec FJ40 , it has the hold-over chrome in-dash brake light indicator / PRE - plastic 2-indicators square box ….
