FJ40 - '72 Hard Top Fit on early '75? Doors too? (1 Viewer)

[BigTroutsFJ]

Got an 1975 FJ40 - and the opportunity to buy a non-running '72 with a good hard top & doors. Anyone know if the top would fit - without much 'help'?

Thanks - appreciate the help!

Does your 75 have barn doors in the rear? If so, the hard top will fit without out any modification. If it is set up for ambulance doors, then you may have to drill some new holes in the hard top.

The FJ40 has a tailgate - much like a standard pickup truck. The hardtop has what looks to be a liftgate.
Thanks for the quick reply - much appreciated!

Thanks for the quick reply! I had been told that the FJ40's had some type of model change half-way through the 1975 production year. Mine was made in June of '75... but I think I'll roll the dice.

nope, no mid year body change in 75.
the changes happened for the 1975 model year.
