posted this in chat, then realized this was the place for it

pic of Fidel and Raul Castro in a 25 or 40, not sure which but it prolly the same as Henry shows.

found this pic today in a recent Time magizine......while sitting in the doctors office.....I "liberated" the page with the pic

Thanks John! Probably the only time that bunch was smiling................driving a Cruiser!

Maybe, now that old Fidel is back among the living Phil might cancel the mission as too high risk.

That instrument cluster,and the routing of the vacuum lines are a good clue to this being an FJ25. John#3

Fidel was a 25 hoarder too, at least two in the fleet, since this one is a soft top.

what on the cluster makes you say 25? to me(from the pic) I couldnt tell 25 or 40 cluster at that angle. I know what the differences are.......just couldn't pick them out in that pic

I did notice the vac lines

the gauge cluster appears to be flat across the bottom, instead of having an indentation for the steering column............... isn't that a 25 trait?

 

[foxfab]

That is a 25/35 trait

To clairify---40's have a 1/2 circle cut out on the bottom of the cluster for the three on a tree shift rod. 25's have a 4-speed floor shift. John*3

 

[ClemsonCruiser]

but they continued the 1/2 circle cut out in to the later 4spd. 40's.........

 

[Landpimp]

ah........I see, never really noticed that before......but yup, your correct, good eyes

Hmmmmmm. Fidel just hasn't been around, although he was just recently heard from..............about the time someone else went "out of town".

Rare photo indeed, Might be more familiar if a HAT was on that head. And deer were lirking in the background.
