FJ40 Running Board Differences

[tinnhound]

Hi Everyone, Happy New Years!!! I have 2 FJ40's, a 74 and a 77, and I came across a pair of OEM running boards online listed for a 1969. I have been trying to research if there were any differences, and what they were, but I have not been successful. I wish I had a copy of the EPC on my computer. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance!! Happy New Years!!!

Here is a link to SOR's catalogue that shows the different ones for the 40 series trucks.

I went there before I started this thread to look for an answer, and I just looked again, and I don't see any running boards on that page or anywhere to click on a menu of them

I have an 1/1969 FJ40 and it is original. I am the second owner. I was told these dates SOR has are not exact. Example: Changes coming on 3/1969 , if all earlier parts were exhausted, a 1/1969 may incorporate the 3/1969 updates. Makes sense.

I have six different styles of running boards from FJ40s. 61 thru 64 model, short with a pad on top. 68 to some time in 69, long with pad on top. 69 to around 75, diamond weld to the top. 75 until ? stamped diamond plate with a slot on the bottom for adjustable mounting bolt on the bottom. ? thru 78 with a fixed stud on the bottom. 79 and later with the notch for the standing seam on the A pillar that continues all the way to bottom starting with the 79 model.

Anybody know if running boards (Toyota Part # 51707-69015) will fit later model ‘79-‘83 FJ40 as long as you cut a notch for the seam?

Did you ever get an answer to this question? I was gifted three running boards without the cutout I need for my 1979.

No nobody ever replied. I guess you can just cut a notch in it.

I've a 1980 HJ45, Running boards thing : appears like the same, but below it's the difference, just because they widening in 1978 the "mini crossmember" , it's like a 0.25 inches wider.
