I have seen those rear amber turn signals on a Australia 64 before. So I guess it was a law and Toyota added them at the port. Toyota had to do a few of the same type of things in the US in the early years. My 65 FJ40 micro-fiche shows a Australia market only tail light that is a combo tail turn signal like the FJ45 got here in the US. I guess by 65 Toyota was seling enough Land Cruisers in australia to made a special rear crossmember for that market. No defrost vent? Those were standard in the US starting sometime in 62. Really like seeing a old original FJ40 from another country. Shows what different markets got and didn't get.
Beautiful!!!!! 
And another old-bastard owner ... since no-one can be YOUNG and own the same vehicle for 39 years!
And suffering a severe case of OCD .... judging from the high upkeep standard of this early model!
And from my part of the world too!
But there's a problem with your username.... I feel awkward calling you "Old Girl".

That's what came with the vehicle. It had been used to tow a caravan and had a roof bars for a boat on top so they may have been cut to make step. I have two without the cut outs painted and ready to go on but the tow hitch will have to go.

The ride is harsh, the tires are old and hard and will need replacing soon.

Did you paint the new ones the same color as the body?

The color is green. You could have any colour as long as it was green in the 60's and 70's.

The YouTube stuff is great. The rear bumpers were painted the same color as the front bumper. When I bought it it had been repainted and parts that should be the platinum were painted grey. I was working in Tamworth NSW in the 1985 and made a point to visit Geoff Coutman. He was a Toyota truck dealer for the area and knew Cruisers. He looked at the Old Girl and said they are painted the wrong colour. Take them off and we will respray them. Off came the grill, the glove box door, instrument panel. So I know these are painted the correct color. I came home with a truck full of parts including the correct lens for the back and two complete front doors including glass and rubbers. One day they will be fitted.Did you paint the new ones the same color as the body?

Do you happen to know the color code for that? It is really a nice subtle green and would make a good addition to the color code thread:

Hi Steve, Great that you got that kind of help, as the front end looks awesome! Also cool that you got some extra doors, as those doors are hard to find with the way those bug catcher wing windows open forward. As for the rear bumperettes (not that it matters as your 40 looks awesome) but just a bit of info for you to do with as you please...all the info I have gathered shows that these two rear bumperettes, along with the front fender turn signals, outside mirror, gas cap, should all be the same color as the body.
You can just make out the blue bumperettes in the first picture of a then new 1964...you see it again how everything was painted body color in the second picture...and the 3rd picture was a then new 1966, and the bumperettes are still body color.
BTW...the running board mats were originally white pyramid mats
Again, just sharing what I have learned, and not telling anyone what to do.
You have a very, very cool '64

Hadn't seen this one before Dean. The blue one was a 65 but the one doing the filming a 66 or 67?
