Top removed - weatherstrip question

[jvincig01]

I removed my top for the first time today and want to start working on the weatherstripping. I have a 67 FJ40 and you can see by this picture that the PO did not remove the top when they painted the rig. Nice eh?

What I want to do is use weatherstripping to cover up the edges it but I noticed the OEM stripping is for 72 and later models. Would this work on my 67?

I don't believe Toyota ever used the hardtop to tub weatherstrip until 1973. They only used the packing, which you can see in the first photo.

Here's a diagram depicting the hardtop to tub weatherstrip vs. the packing:

In theory though could you put it on an earlier model?

Yes, I believe you can.
