Ron, did you use there headlights? Did they plug right in? Which part number?

Thanks Bob.

Bob, the headlights are Truck-Lite #27270C and have the three prong plug. The only problem I'm having is mounting the grille ring. The headlight sticks out farther than stock and can't get the retaining screws in. I bought some shorter screws, but haven't gotten back to it.

Thanks PabloCruise. I flicked an email to Napa waiting to hear back. If I luck out I will let you know. I heard back from local lens reproduction company. I will be sending the rear clear rectangular back up light lens, below grille lights and my rare 1967 side markers to make reproductions. Prices seem reasonable If anyone is interested PM me.

Do you know if they will do the below grille lights in amber?
Would you mind PMing me the price for the below grille lights?
Thanks!

The ke20 indicator copy lights arrived today from Bangkok. Lens is cracked on one edge I think it is part of the moulding process and the steel surround is very rough. You can see sanding marks.

If you are prepared to clean them up a bit I think they will work quite well. They have Toyota printed on the lens and come as complete unit including seals and globe. Definitely need to replace the mild screws with some stainless ones.

This is what they look like below finalpigs grille

I think those will make a fine replacement. Wonder if we can still get them from a Toyota dealer?

Looks good ....

Do the mounting bolts line up with the holes in the '68-'69 grille?

Not sure but doubt it. 6cm between two hex nuts

Got myself a set of these early fender mirrors. I've only seen them on very early FJ55s. The Thiesis video at 14:38, 15:26 http://www.thiess.com.au/thiesstv/album/2746859/video/86677786 shows a pig with these mirrors. Tossing up if I should mount them on the FJ45V or firstpig.

Found this in the glovebox today. Must be rare. It has a picture of the FJ55 LVB with the fender mirrors and RHD and LG without fender mirrors and LHD. The LG has side reflectors

Instructions on replacement of early fender side marker and below grille light instructions

But ultimate surprise in the back. Car has been previously registered as a 1966 FJ55 with purchase date 26.11.1967 and early maintenance record.
