the ones with the rivets in it might be hard to make and how would we replace the rivets ? if no rivets anything can be copied I have a lot of resources also wanted to say on the floor board I have a company that makes the diamond paternal for the floor boards here is a photo of a NOS floorboard and the diamond pattern matches the swatch perfectly.

How did you pull that off? You must have some sort of prerequisite for girlfriends. "...if you have relatives that owned a Toyota dealership in the 70's or a good sized Land Cruiser parts hoard a definite plus!" Mike

no seriously
I found it in the attic along with these books I was looking for parts for this car and there it was I think he might have bought it new because the one on the car is all bent up
and the soft doors were hanging on the walls and the bows along with the pto shift linkage

I even the oval metal ones could be made as stickers and replace or suck on top of the old tag. anyone with a 63 FJ25 parts book would also have the correct old part number to use instead of what is on a newer tag. My lastest parts books appear to have both old and new part numbers for the early FJ40s. With a way to cross reference both old to new and new to old. I believe the generator with the metal tag the part number starts FJ40. It was sometime around mid 63 Toyota switched to the standard ten digit part number they still use today. But anyone who owns a earlier one may want to use the old part numbers. I should be able to provide those numbers. To bad your local Toyota dealer can't help you out with anything before 3/69

Man Tom that is some awesome stuff! I have never seen a NOS early 40 running board before 
Can you hook me up with the name of your company that does the diamond patern mat? I could use some myself.
Thanks

Thanks for the offer. Not sure if mine is really that bad. This is a picture of mine from a old thread https://forum.ih8mud.com/fj25-owners-group/265942-replicated-denso-tags-generators.html
Looks about the same as yours.

By the way nice score on the early bows. How about pictures of the doors. Do they have the canvas covering. You will need to find some canvas to match. That is unless you find a brand new replace top in a box in the attic. With the way your luck is going I would take another look. Are you thinking of selling the old stuff?

JP, there is a place in NY city that sells that mat in small sections. I do not remember their name, but a quick search found this; Pyramid Mats are Rubber Pyramid Matting by American Floor Mats , which might be easier for you to find.
Hope this helps
