Early FJ40 Rearview Mirrors (1 Viewer)

[seth]

Hello there all you Cruiser nerds!

I have 2 1965 (1964 manufacture) FJ40s, and they have 2 different styles of rearview mirrors.

I'm well aware that during the manufacturing process Toyota would often use an earlier part until it was used up before applying a newer year-model version of the same, but is this mirror most commonly associated with the FJ25? Anyone have one that isn't rusted away? Any bets on whether I can restore this one without ruining the intact mirror glass?

I was just reading something in the FJ40 FAQ about rust removal process using a battery charger and diode of some sort then you dip the part into a bucket of water. might be a good way to try to restore this one. Check out the FAQ section.

That is the correct mirror for a 64
You may want to ask @Land Cruiser Junky how he restored this one

1964 was a transition year where they switched to the 1964-1967 style
