Realtime Help! FJ60/FJ62 Frame,Same?

[Joe_E]

Long story short. Supposed to pick up a like new frame for my '87 FJ60 this weekend. Now i'm told it's from a '88 FJ62.
Are the frames the same? Got all the bolt holes I need?

I was told I just have to move the trans mount a little. Is that it?

Please help before I blow a gasket.

Wow, talk about a dejavu situation!
My reciept from my months old deposit even says FJ60 haha.
Well I guess i'm gonna make this mother work, so prepare for the questions.

Thanks for the help guys.

Joe, there are fewer differences between the '87 FJ60 (designated FJ62 in other market) and the '88 Fj62.

So, it could be worse, you could be trying to swap 82 FJ60 for FJ62. Then everything is wrong.

Thanks for the vote of confidence Jim.
Hopefully it will sport one of your powerplants as well when it all comes together.
