Yes the original floor mats still say "TOYOTA" on them.

2 negatives: The bezel is upside down and it's not mine...

Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics. Didn't have time to resize. Apparently it's "just been sitting" for several years in the backyard.
 
:rolleyes: it's a camera phone sheesh besides it was kinda indoors.

This is a 74 model soft top. Probably a early 74 with a 73 production date. Amber turn signals and reverse light in the tail light was a change with the 74 model year. Roll bar and small jump seats also a 74 model year change. Has the later style heater too. The license plate braket changed to the later two bulb in 74 this has the earlier style making me think it's an early 74 model. Most likely had a three speed too since early 74s had the three speed. The big question I have is does it have the late F engine with 2F oiling system. Not sure at what point that changed over. You can see where the center footman loops were added to the tailgate. Starting with the 72 model they went from three to two. I know the old Kayline OEM replacement canvas had three straps for each side of the tailgate which is probably why this has the extra one added. This is a very clean orginal looking cruiser.:cheers:


Looked at the pictures again may have a four speed shift patteren on the grove box door. May also have added the four speed. Started with the 73 model it's a pretty easy bolt on. The frame member that rans behind the transfer is shaped to handle the longer four speed and the tranny hump is longer too.
