Builds My first LV (1 Viewer)

[FJ40 MATT]

I was just kidding it looks like it had been on there for months, I was surprised it didn’t fall off in the ride here

It would have actually been a Coors Light and a Fosters caps!

 

[FJ40 MATT]

Cleaned the LV out the last couple of days after work. Trying to figure out what dash knobs and switches I need for it so I can start looking for them. Is the light and wiper switch the same as a early 40?

Parts

Wow. What a couple of amazing scores

The light switch is the same as a 40. The wiper switch is different and specific to an LV.

Hey jack do you have a picture of one you can post so I can see what it looks like. Is the wiper switch the only one specific to the LV? Thanks for the help

Matt- I have a complete original LV here at the house I could probably snap some dash pics for you tomorrow if you like.

Thanks jack that helps a lot. My whole dash was taken apart so had no idea where anything went

LIGHT and CHOKE knob locations are interesting (-ly different). The shape of the hole circled in red matches the typical 40/45 light switch knob, not the typical choke cable knob. And the hole pointed to in green is not standard 40/45 size.

We’re all of the dashes gray on LV’s?

 

[Tancruiser]

I’ve never seen one that wasn’t unless someone painted it.

 

[JackA]

Yes, gray dash is stock color.
