If the bezel were right side up it would be worth more 
Non-USA vent pane doors - weird dash - early style bezel on an '83?
It may be an interesting truck, but it's not a garden-variety US-spec '83 FJ40

Wow good eye. I didn't even think about the round bezel.
New paint makes me nervous unless the seller has a lot of "before" photos.
There is nothing worse than "little surprises" that show up a few months later.

Steering wheel not 83 either to add to the list.
Not an 83. Even in the SA countries and in Asia they had gone to the new style bezel, steering wheel and other stuff.
This is probably an Asian truck as they love the 70 turn signals, bad body lifts and wide tires. Also, it has no roll bar or jumop seats which all North America trucks came with. The fact that there are no holes on the fender from the stock signals make me wonder of the condition of the body in general. probably LOTS of bondo/glass.
It also is a RHD conversion as it has the turn signal on the wrong side. That would explain the dash, etc.
Oh, and they never make a *FJ*41. Only the BJ41 and that was JDM only.

Are you trying to say it might not be a '83 model? 
I'm saying its probably not a lot of any year. With all of the mods and customization, out could be a conglomeration of a lot of years and condition. And yeah... It's missing all of what makes an 83 an 83.
