The fj45 swb bed I'm restoring has had the wheel wells cut into a semi-circle. Would any of you guys have time to call me with some measurements or trace out the opening onto something and send it to me? Although similar it seems to be different than my fj40 wheel well.

I'm pretty much at a standstill until I get this so really would appreciate someone helping me out ASAP!

Check out awl teq's thread on new OEM repro beds and see some of his detail work on the wheel well, he might even be able to sell you a replacement, or all new sides!
 
Thanks for the plug Kief... but I only have the long bed and no stuff for the short bed
 
I can put a long piece of paper on a sheet of plywood, press it against the truck and then trace the outline along the bed and well but the truck in my garage has a bed that was built to match the original... although I don't know how closely it does. Here's what it looks like, below. Tell me if that's what you want and if so where to send the tracing.

I, too, have a hand made bed that approximates the original. I can do a tracing of the wheel well opening, but I don't know how accurately it matches the original.
 
:lol: Yeah - He can't seem to give that thing away

Kevin, I didn't know you wanted a bed to copy. I've got the one here in Helena, I won't be using needing for a while. i could let you borrow it for a copy.

I still have those side steps also.

I should see if the wife wants to do some cross boarder shopping and pending that maybe a pre-christmas road trip. She's off to New York tomorrow so I'll mention it to her. I could fab up that rear sill for your 40 also.

I'll look into it Paul
