FJ40 hard top

[bullet]

Will a later hardtop fit on my 63 fj40??? I have a chance to get one cheap??

I'll admit to being a little fuzzy on the early stuff even though I have a 64, but do you have square door openings or the curved ones? I don't even know if that makes a difference for the top, come to think of it.

I have a later (like somewhere between 68 and 74 I think) hard top that I sometimes put on my 64. It fits the tub edge fine and the windshield is fine, but I had to trim the deflector for the wiper arms.

There is a fitment issue with later tops and earlier doors, but I don't remember the details. Someone else may, or do a search.

HTH,

I thought I remember reading that the earlier cruisers had different windshield angles and would cause sealing issues around the doors. Sounds like a Pimp question.

63's door post sticks up higher than later years. you could cut it down and weld the round piece back on top for the hard top rod to slide into. not sure on the windshield frames
