What exactly are the differences and will they still mix and match?
I'm in the process of buying a project rig with a fixed cab and short wheel box. How do I make sure that the box and the cab are the correct version for the frame that is coming with it? At this point everything is in pieces and I don't physically have it on my end.
Do you have the proper measurements or know where I can get them?

Post some pics and I can tell you what you have, sounds like a 63,64, fixed top swb....104 wheelbase,both fixed top and rht, but the beds were different lenghs, to make up for the cab difference,longbed is 116 lpb

I plan to start a thread with photos when I get the rig in hand. At this point I am out of state til August so it will have to wait until then. I am just fighting off the post purchasing gitters. I've always wanted one and didn't hesitate on grabbing this one when it became available.

I was told that the fixed top cab, curved side short bed and frame were from a 65. The cowl/firewall is from a 79 FJ40. I'm looking at switching that out with a 67 FJ40 cowl/firewall. I prefer the older split hoods and two part doors. It looks like the frame may have been modified to be registered as a 79 FJ40, even though its an FJ45 SWB frame...

I guess I'll have to wait until this fall to really know what I have. Looking forward to positive and negative comments when I start the thread.
Thanks
