Fj45 Radiator overflow? (1 Viewer)

[77HesterSue]

Would my 1965 FJ45 SWB truck have had an overflow bottle originally? During a recent drive, I had coolant overflowing on the ground. Not a leak, just overflow. Wondering how to remedy if an overflow bottle was not available then?

Thanks

I have a completely stock 1969 FJ40, and it did not come with an overflow bottle. So I assume a 1965 would not ever have had one. Some have went aftermarket with various kits.

I also don’t believe it had one. If you’re interested in adding one the 60 series bottle and mount is a pretty good choice.
Not sure if they are still available but I have added them to a couple of 40 series trucks.

No overflow bottle on a 65. I used a 60 ries one like stated above. Works perfect an looks somewhat correct.

@ToyotaMatt has a real nice one that is not like that cheapo universal most Cruiser shops sell.

I roamed the junk yard till I saw one I liked and $5.00 later it was mine.

Yea. It’a cheap too. Like $35 for hoses and hanger included
