I need to know if my FJ40 build date of DEC of 1978 is considered an “early 79” model year or a very late 78 model year ?
My first FJ40 ( 30 years ago..) was an April of 79 and had the newer body tub, the 3.70 gears and so on but my recent purchase is titled as a 1978 model year and has all things in common with pre-79 stuff such as the old style tub , 4.11 gears etc…
Am I to assume that the 79 model year FJ40’s did not follow the normal model year change in September but rather possibly January of 79 build dates ?
Please help clarify this and educate me on this - I’ve included some pics of the tags if needed.
Thanks, Tom
