Looking for a Fiberglass top and Rain gutter to fit my 1964 FJ40. Any leads would be greatly appreciated. In San Diego.
 
There is one in Las Vegas that has been on facebook marketplace for a while....not sure if it would work on your 64.


I'm guessing the main differences in tops over the years is the attachment to the windshield. It's not clear if this top has the windshield frame cap, or not. They are available from CCOT as new reproductions....

Thanks for the heads up, just messaged her. Will see, post seems questionable.
 
get measurements across the rear between the sides,
the early tops are straight up and later tops are angled in slightly
the later fiberglass top is not the same and will not fit an early top

full tops are interchangeable, so hard saying what you have and what you need without seeing pics

the early tops would have horizontal ribs and a bifold rear door

Thank you. Definitely learning here, I am actually lucky? I have the correct 64 panels as well as 70s panels, would be nice to find 64 style tho but if that turns to be a hassle I may just go with 70s. And hopefully sell/trade the others.

there is coolness factor with the correct top, but finding a good fiberglass cap will be difficult.
the later setup with the rear lift up hatch, will be easier to find a fiberglass cap for

if you put a ribbed side panel up next to the later side panel you will see the difference in the shape
 
I may have a cap.... Im in SD......unsure what to ask for $ ??
 
its later version....
the early version tops are cool... but lots of issues trying to make them work right..... Latch mech / weather stripping for the bi-folding rear door..etc.

think I have two tops?? one with good gutter....one with gutter that needs replacing......

Ill check them out this weekend....... where you at ? we are in Lemon Grove area


Maybe some horse trading.... still have that disc conversion kit? does that work for all years??

Sounds good. I need rain gutter too. I think you may be confusing me though with someone else. I don't have disc brake conversion. I am close to you in San Carlos area.

I have the disc conversion. Yes I would trade it for something. Let @Bucho get his top first and then we can figure out a trade. Don’t want to jump on his Wanted thread.
 
ya.... I guess I shouldnt message before coffee.....dont know how I got this all mixed up ????????????

I am really close to Cowels mtn. But i don't think we talked, as this cruiser is a relatively new acquire for me. Would be interested who the other Cowel Mtn area person is. You going to this Summit in Oside tomorrow?
