FJ40 short bed pickup

[ducktapeguy]

I seem to remember seeing someone who had cut their FJ40 top to make it into a really, really short bed pickup, but I've been searching and can't find the link. Anyone else know what I'm talking about, or did I just dream it up?

I thought there was a "short cab conversion" available back in the day.... John

search half cab or bobbing cab/stuff like that, there's a load of threads

It seems like you would loose space on an already compact vehicle, do you want to do this? I would drop a 45 bed out back

Howdy! The ones I've seen are just a short cab that comes down right behind the two front seats, leaving the rear open, and original. Looks like a stubby pickup truck. Great for an exoskeleton settup, and leaves room in the bed for extra fuel/storage. John

Here is a pic of mine when I was doing work to shorten the hard top.
Originally I wanted it shorter, but the side windows made sense.

Here is a pic of another shortcab.

And here is a pic of another shortcab extended tub.

There is also another one posted here on this forum. You can find in the thread about a green fj40 that someone from England is puting on fj80 frame ,drivetrain and axles. I searched for it, but couldn't find. Does anyone remember it ? . It would be nice to save it in my comupter.
That thing looks goooooooooood.

Search for posts by Shotgun- he's got a really slick 78 that uses a 45 top and original 40 tub.

Mines in a soft top

Thanks all. I wasn't even close in my search terms, I never would have found it on my own. Andrewfarmers red FJ40 was the one I remembered, I didn't realize there were others. I just happen to have an extra top right now, so I was just kicking around ideas on waht I could do with it. I always thought it would be cool to have multiple tops that I could swap around, but it looks like a shortcab would be a more permanent mod to make it look decent.
