Sheet Metal Identification Help Please (1 Viewer)

[macdaddy59]

My 1976 FJ40 came in boxes and I have figured out where most everything goes. However I have 2 pieces of sheet metal that I can not figure out. I am not sure even if they belong to the FJ40. If anyone recognizes these 2 pieces and know what they are for I would be extremely grateful.

One more

Is the second picture the rear step? (Under my hitch thingy)

 

[macdaddy59]

Nope I have one of those and this is smaller and much thinner. But thanks for your suggestion.

First pic looks like the bottom of a center "console" on my '73, not sure when they upgraded to the plastic console.

 

[zerotreedelta]

Yup...one is definitely the "floor" of the center console (center below).

EDIT: Not sure on the second offhand....something for the heater box? Mounts look kinda like that, but my '76 is all one piece with the front louvers, etc...not sure if the older models are different?

 

[macdaddy59]

Yep just checked it out and you are correct. Thank you 73fj40 and zerotreedelta that helps immensly. Now I just need to figure out the last one

 

[zerotreedelta]

Checked the basement stash, which is literally everything off of my '76 other than body panels... don't see any such item. Either it's a option mine didn't have, or it's something someone added methinks.

Does yours have the rear heater? It kind of looks like the bolt spacing for the rear heater, but not sure what it would do back there... extremely random guess.

 

[macdaddy59]

Yes i hav4 the rear heater. That was my thought as well but I have never seen a picture of a heater with that type of cover. I will have to get my rear heater and see if it fits some how .

Could the second one be a tail light protector???

 

[CondeCruiser]

Second one protects the brake line union on the inside of the frame just under the battery .

 

[CondeCruiser]

Or the fuel line union. I can't recall which.

Or it covers the heater hoses coming through the firewall.
