I've just picked ups pretty rusty, early FJ45 cab of ebay for the princely sum of $32 Australian dollars, and am now trying to figure out how old it is in the hope of sourcing some parts for it.

I'd like to learn to weld and panel beat with this thing and possibly swap it onto my 1984 BJ42.

At this stage I think its about a '67 given that it has no air vent for the engine bay on the sides and the fresh air vent is in the top of the firewall.

From what I've read so far, the doors and windscreen surround from my Bj42 will fit ( though not be correct), and the door strikers will need to be swapped.

So, what I would like to know, is there a source explaining or detailing the differences for the cabs between the years, and who would be a good source of replacement panels and a heater/fan?
 
Pictures. Sorry for the quality, only had my phone with me.

I am beginning to think that it may be beyond repair for a novice such as myself and I would be better off with a later model tub.
