Just found this thread. Nice project! This FJ 40 looks just like ours (1962). Is this an original french or european FJ40? When did they start importing FJ40's in europe?

I should be able to measure some things for you, but I don't know what you need to know exactly. Can you post a picture which size you need? I can't compare because our 71 and the 62 are not at the same location.

Waiting for time: can you tell me who the landcruiser parts supplier is you talked about? Do they know something about the early cruisers?

I got to him through marktplaats and ordered some small bits. It is the one in Beek. I think his hobby is getting to be a business now. I haven't visited him yet.

Awesome build. I just picked up a 64. So I will need to compare notes on where you get some of your parts. My cousin lives south of you. I will have him keep his eyes out for you. You may know him he is a singer out there. Leroy Gomez. I will have a post up soon. Nice work bro

Denso clamshell. Feel free to send it here if you don't want it. Looks good dunkane

X2 Denso clamshell. Here is one with the doors on. I believe Landpimp has a different little larger one. The one in the picture is in a 1960 FJ25.

it's strange to have this on a fj40 from 1963-64, no ?
 
Thos
76 seat in 64 fj40 ? possible ?

hello in my rig i've no seat, and it's very difficult to find somes (especially in France)
someone have somes from a 76 fj40 (here are the pictures), could i put them in the 64 ?





[/QUOTE

These seats should work. They look like the ones from my early 1971 cruiser. I believe the early seats would have been a 60/40 style bench seat like the ones in your pic.
