My early stocks were stamped Kotico as well as Toyota. I thought that Kotico was a division of Toyota. The part number on my stocks started 2BJ. Curious Toyota switched to ten digit in 63 but your 62 already has ten digit number on the stabilizer. Guessing the process started early and took until 63 to be complete.
Tokico.
Tokico and KYB have interchanged for many years depending on application and market. Toyota has had interesting relationships with their suppliers.
Neither are internal Toyota Group companies.
The 1960 FJ25 parts catalog that I have has a mixture of the legacy part numbering system as well as the modern 10 digit part numbering system.

I sure your right. I was going from memory which isn't to good any more. Last time I was at my cabin we ended up leaving in a hurry. For family reasons I not able to make it back where I have all my old shocks.
If your parts book is white with red and orange triangles it's a book a few of us have. My micro-fiche also has both parts numbers. I also acquired some books from the mid 60 that have the conversion for the early FJ40 parts as well. Just no way to update the early ten digit numbers to the numbers that superseded them.
Correct, nagoya Japan.
The inspection lamp is also tokairikadenki.
bump stops: Tokai Rubber.

If bulbs weren't Koito they might be Stanley (yes, it's a Japanese Co.) or Toshiba.

The glass maker Asahi Glass Company mentioned earlier was founded in 1906. They mark their stuff AGC on recent Toyota glass. @ToyotaMatt says the flying saucer logo on this plexiglass was a logo they used to use.

It says PAT PEND on the arm, i have always assumed that the paperwork for the patent hasn't been finished yet whenever i see that. I wonder if they ever got it since this window regulator design isn't the greatest, and had a short run before the regulator that was introduced in 63.
Besides it being a bit of a PIA to get it working i still love the uniqueness of this regulator.
