This is actually for the 68 model. The reflectors and padded dash both started 9/68 which is the same date as the parts manual. Have the same date micro-fiche for the FJ55LV. 67 was the end of Four door FJ45LV and 78 the start of the FJ55.

Publish date for this book is September 1967. There will be overlaps, but there are definitely differences in some cases with a 1967 model FJ40 and what you see in this catalog.

...unless I got the wrong date lodged in to my head for the catalog! I’ll check the back cover when I get home.

Just double-checked publication date and it’s September 1967. You are correct that it’s unlikely many trucks actually manufactured in 1967 will match all these specs given how late it was published. Might not have even been released until 1968, as you say! Thanks for the sharp eye!

You’re welcome! We are all in this together!
I see nothing strange. I have a 9/67 production 68 model. Was printed to release with the 68. Probably showed up at the dealers when the 68 models arrived. My 68 was first registered in AZ 11/67. It has the padded dash and reflectors. Along with the other 68 model changes.
I've posted this before, but I have a scanned copy of manual 93648-67 on my google site for free viewing or download. Not sure what the difference is, but my manual is only 393 pages while yours is 500+ pages. Warning: the scan quality of my manual is horrible, but hey its all there and its free. I still have the paper copy but as you can see from the scans, it is a "copy of the original", bound with spiral rings. I can send it to Seth for a more orderly scan, or perhaps you may want to wait until a better copy comes along. Here is the link. The manual is near the bottom of the page (fourth manual from the bottom).

Just took a look at your back page. Interesting to see reference to the other versions noted below standard publish info. Can anyone interpret what the “Replaced by No. 35-E” means?
I would be open to re-scanning yours if it’s significantly different, but maybe we’ll hold and see if someone has an earlier one first?

Seth, thanks for the contributions. The catalog pre-dates my '74 40 so it isn't applicable to my rig, but I still appreciate you giving back to the community. Seems like most everyone contributes in one way or another. MUD is awesome. I've only been around a couple of years and unbelievabe wisdom just spews out of every post I read. Way out of my league.
Many of you have helped me get mine rolling again, so it's high time I ponied up and gave back also. I'd like to open source this BJ25 parts catalog. Although it isn't dated, it's applicable for the 1956 model year. Guessing it's one of the earliest out there. Haven't seen one in my two-year-and-counting Land Cruiser journey.
I've got a decent grip on the scanning part of it and will shoot it over to you when I'm done. Might not be for a while, but I'll get it to you. Won't be too tough - the spine opens all the way.
Because I'm a tool, I mean a tool guy, wanted to show the third pic right off the bat. Never realized the very early grease pump came with an alternate nozzle, different from the standard angled nozzle. Also, the jack is part RK 91100, not RK30 91100. Thought that was interesting too.
If anyone is interested in seeing other specific content before it gets publshed, just shoot me a note.

Oh man, this is awesome! I'd be happy to add it to the (small) collection of catalogs up there!
I think most of us with old Land Cruisers know that we can't do it without some help from the community here on MUD. Long live old cruisers!

And I would be really interested in any close ups of the side mirror in that catalog!

Hmm. Only shows a passenger side mirror in the diagram - no driver side. Front cover pic shows a driver side mirror, but no passenger side.

That's interesting. There's a lot of conversation over in the FJ25 threads about what kind of mirror Toyota used, even up to around 1965 – My early-64 FJ40 had the smooth round mirror, and closer inspection showed it had a standard thread pitch. It's possible Toyota needed to deal with American import safety requirements and had them installed stateside. Anyhow, the BJ 69202 part number is another interesting lead...
Thank you!
Thank you!

Quite welcome.
Lots of counties the pass side is their drivers side
Catalogs they used pics over even though some things were never sold in the county the catalogs went to like the heavy windshield here in us ... it showed up here and there in catalogs but not offered here
In the us we never got the lower 25 vac wiper arms and that was for E-56... I see that in the catalog
The BJ referents to the BJ Jeep ... the first toyota vehicle the part was used on .... I like the old system ... kinda a built in cross reference system
There were many times toyota used local suppliers to source parts for vehicles ... reflectors ... lights... tops ... seats
Later it was much better on catalogs to show local/out sourced parts with Toyota parts numbers on it ... say with that of the Kayline replacement top for the 40s that are in a toyota catalog here in the us

That's solid info.
Dan,
Depending on how you acquired it and whether you intend on ultimately keeping it, you will want to do your absolute best to preserve the condition (do not bend the binding). The value to an automotive literature collector is completely out of line with the value to us "enthusiasts". Making the info open source won't affect the value, that is in the condition and rarity. Easiest way to scan it is to take high res photos of the individual pages. The paper is transparent so you will have a challenge getting a scan without the opposite side image showing through.
The book is correct for the '56, with the B motor being the predecessor to the F, but as you noted the very early books were not dated. You'll also find 6V electrical in there. The BJ- part numbers are as Johnny C and LITP have already mentioned, obsolete. The only place I've seen a crossover to the "current" system is in the ~67-68? FJ25 catalog edition which lists both sets of part numbers. I believe that was the reason for that edition, as well as it being used for the microfiche images.
As others have mentioned the early books are illustrator renderings that cover multiple markets and production changes. Also the factory "photos" are quite often extensively doctored to match what they anticipated production would look like for a certain market. So nothing is truly definitive, but it gives us a good idea of the intent at the time. There are even examples of hand written revisions included in printed editions. Thanks for sharing.
