SOLD Retro Aftermarket FJ40 Rear Bumper - Look Inside (1 Viewer)

I am not sure if this was a commonly available aftermarket rear bumper offered for Fj40's back in the day, but I want one exactly like this. I have ability to build one to match, but wanted to go fishing first because it would save me a bunch of time in the shop I could use for other tasks. From a recent sale ad here:

SOLD - Graham, Texas: 1970 FJ40

The time has come to sell our 1970 FJ40. We love this rig but our family is growing and we are finding the FJ40 has become impractical for us and we drive our FJ60 much more frequently, so we have decided to sell it and put the money towards something else. Short description: recently...

Post in the 45 forum. There have been a few guys that got them with their shortbeds back in the day and pulled them off. If they haven’t tossed them, probably avail for the cost of shipping.

Thank you both. Fingers crossed KevO's is what I'm after. Kinda figured I'd be looking for a hens tooth but figured a want ad was worth a shot.

Here is what I have. Looks professionally made but maybe modded to fit.

Bugger. Thanks for the effort, but I will keep looking.

Still looking for one. @whitey45 found one for me on Facebook up in Northern California, but have been unsuccessful convincing the seller to ship it. It looks like this one is a more common aftermarket design that may have came on FJ45 SWB trucks? Here is the one @whitey45 found:

Here is one i saw in the FJ45 forum:

I took another look and was comparing the most recent pictures posted. Mine looks to be the same, but unfortunately a PO took the liberty of trimming the vertical trim off the top of my bumper.

Yes, ive re looked at the photo you posted many times. If it wasnt trimmed, it would work for me. Do you have any photos of it installed on your 45?

I'll look around for some pics. I thought it fit pretty well. Not a huge feat to bend some plate and weld. Just a thought...

Sorry, I couldn't find any pictures with the bumper mounted. I would have to remove the bumperettes and mock it up.

Thanks Kevin. It hangs down lower than the style I'm after. I've got some ugly I need to cover up at the sill and quarter panels.

Here is a FB post in Oregon. Bet it would straighten out.

I think I just bought a 64 with a similar rear bumper today. I will check.

@EWheeler is this the type you are looking for?
