FJ40 Splash Guard Question

[LC Family]

So I am looking for engine compartment splash guards for my 1972 FJ40 (9/'71 build date) and I am having trouble figuring out which ones to get. It seems the shapes and sizes changed over the years and most sellers do not indicate which year they are for and the info I have found can get contradicted by others. Looked for photos of early 1972 engine compartments but no luck seeing clear pictures of any guards. Can anyone with an early '72 40 confirm which splash guards are the correct ones for the year? Sounds like there should be one under the radiator with a hole for the drain, one under the battery, and one near the exhaust manifold. Pictures of the shapes I need would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

These pics are from my 01/72 truck. I sadly tossed the one on the driver's side when I added a header almost 50 years ago.

Thank you. For the drivers side splash guard I have found 3 versions (see pics) - can you tell me which one you did have that would be for the 09/71?

Thread 'Splash Shield Differences 1972 vs. 1978 FJ40'

Dec 7, 2016

Quick history: Making the best of a 1972 and 1978 FJ40 into one truck. Using the '72 frame because the '78 was toast. I am to the point where I am starting to piece the little things back together for the frame. Looking back I have two different types of splash shields. The top two (in front of the engine/under the radiator) are my main interest/concern -- I believe the '78 is on the right (the passenger side shield below it should also be the '78) because it is more rusty. . .
Is there any functional difference between the two? It seems the '78 sits an inch or so closer to the...

I did see that thread, but it omits identifying the drivers side splash guard for specific years. It only shows passenger and front guards.

Sorry, I don't recall what mine looked like and I can't tell by picture, only the experts can do that, but I can provide you with a p/n from my Toyota microfiche dated Jan '81. Yours would be the first line on this pic. Hope this helps.

That's something to go off of! Thanks for your help. Maybe someone else will see this thread and know for sure by the pics too.
