Those two pictures don't tell you much. It is missing the right corner glass and maybe the left. I believe those are no longer available. Seats in this would be the same as long wheel base trucks sold here. When you find them they aren't cheap. Engine, transmission and transfer would be easier to find. These rust in the rear sill just like the FJ40. Fair/good body doesn't really say much. Wonder if Whitey knows this truck. Even if a guy is local it would be worth to have Whitey take at look at it unless you know your 45s.
This was for sale a while ago, looks the same with new owner? Price doubled! If anyone is super serious i could go get it(3 hour drive) i have not seen it in person, but these prices seem to be normal now, supply and demand! I have some quarter windows and a complete early f engine, trans, column shifter etc... Hmmm....
Was that the one in Redding?
No, I think auburn?
Sonora, funny thing I see with the bed is that there is no hat metal ribs on the inside? Hard to find truck. John
From what I can tell the sheet metal ribs were an early SWB item the '65 beds just have one per side. Where as the earlier SWB models have ribs fairly evenly spaced all the way round the the tub. Why and when Toyota made the change I don't know, but I have a feeling it coincided with the removable top.

JP, that is exactly what I have seen from owning both and seeing the pattern from fixed to removable top models.Its a good thing they went away from those supports, because most of the fixed swb beds I have seen have rotted away at every support as water could collect in them. The swb fixed bed is also a few inches longer due to the shorter cab.
