LV question

[3_puppies]

storing this LV for a member until he picks it up

on my old LV I don't recall having this upper vent above the windshield, but this rig has one,
from my understanding this is not an original US rig

 

[whitey45]

Never seen that either, does it have courtesy lights in the b pillar? South American ?

I think i remember @tahoe40/45 mentioning something to me about this vent... he might know. I wish mine had one seems like a nice feature for fresh air!

not much left on the interior.

I think the vent on LVs used on a mine or from Canada. I could be wrong I thought I remember reading that somewhere

 

[3_puppies]

AFAIK it is from north of the border

North of the border. Likely has room lights on the pillars behind driver head and front seat passengers head. This is another feature of non US rigs.

 

[Tancruiser]

I dunno but I want one .

This has been talked about before. It's a feature of the non US rigs. I thought I had a few other pix....but no. Would love to have one of these vents. Really cool.

How about some more pictures of the rest of the LV?

it's this one:

For Sale - 1966 FJ45LV

I have had one offered to me, I would like to take the project on but not going to happen for me. It may be pretty far gone as well. Here is what I know, -1966 -no engine or trans -NOS tail lights in box -All seats are there -Spare front doors -rust repairs needed, looks like some were started...

Yes and it should have a switch in dash that says room on it. these have a different switch than the normal little pull out switch.

dash isn't all together, might be in a box tho?

 

[scoobiedubes]

That’s awesome. I love that there is so much interest in a rig that needs so much work. Shows people appreciate these LVs!

 

[Casey E]

It’s on the dash in that picture. One of the switches is a head lights switch the other is the room light.

 

[3_puppies]

I didn't look close at the switch I thought it was the wiper and headlight switches

 

[Casey E]

Yeah they have a special wiper switch, has that W on it. They are hard to locate, not sure I’ve ever seen one for sale.

My Dad's 66 LV had the vent and B pillar lights but my 67 didn't. Both were Canuck rigs though.
