Sweet. What's that mounted on the hood? A spot light? I'd leave it as-is and drive it.
It has a chevy 305 thats getting swapped out for a 2F. I replaced all the suspension at this point. And yes its an okd spot light on the hood. Pretty cool looking in my opinion.

I have a 1966 lv, new to this forum. I will post pictures and Vin next week. I currently own a shop in clt and we work on quite a few fjs . Thus is my personal one . We are swapping a 1995 80 series under it and updating the interior
Interested to hear the 80 under 45 body description. I've been thinking of that myself; 80 frame under my 45 and 56.
You should stop by the ONSC Clubhouse and introduce yourself! LOTS of Cruiser enthusiasts in the Carolinas and ONSC is one of the most active clubs in the nation. Besides that, free advertising for your shop
NC- Olde North State CruisersLooking forward to pics of the project!
No problem. I tried to load some photos however the files are too large so I need to resize them. I will attempt to show a beginning to end and background story.

The vin# FJ45296159

Hi Graham,
Great to see a fellow fj45 owner with a 70's 45! I just started restoration in the Netherlands on a 73' fj45 with frame number fj4565498, engine F431977. Unfortunately it had no paperwork, so I'll have to prove to Dutch MoT that theze frames were produced at that time... would you be willing to send me a picture of your registration?
Just new on the forum...will properly introduce soon!

Hi, I just wondered if there was someone kind enough and knowledgeable enough to help me date my Australian FJ45 pickup? (Apologies if this is in the wrong section.)
I was told it was a 1969 model with the VIN FJ45-40045. In order to register it, I have asked Toyota for the date of production and they have come back with October 1965, which has confused me as it doesn't look like pictures of other 65's i.e no vent under the windshield, the clips to open the windshield are round black plastic, not the metal clips.
Looking at the chart on CCOT's website, Land Cruisers Sold Per Year & Vin Numbers by Production Dates the vin does match October 1965 but I thought that chart was for FJ40's not 45's. Unfortunately the vehicle is in a boat en route so I have no way of checking until it arrives next month.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Al

The FJ45 frame number chart on Specter's website would suggest your frame number is a 1969.
Try sor.com to see it.
BTW, Toyota has long ago forgotten its heritage, and whoever you spoke with has no idea about your truck.

Thanks Bear. I have had some success in the past but this time they seem to be way off. For a moment I was quite excited that it was a 65 but I will have to query it with them. Apparently the information came from Japan so maybe you are right. I think I would trust this website more as the knowledge here always amazes me.
VIN: FJ45-27330
Location: Todd River Station, Northern Territory, Australia
Status: Soon to be resurrected (Hopefully!)
