Here's the second type. I believe the difference is with the bulb, which is supposed to be amber.

So has it been established if both types are for driving on USA roads? I am looking for these for NZ roads please share part numbers.

@kunzma

This is a really great one to make... The only possible way to get them new is with the hinge ... Racer should be able to make these I would think

No, those part numbers are definitely for LHD.

 

[Archie 1962 FJ25]

No, those part numbers are definitely for LHD.

Thanks for the confirmation. Please let me know if you have part numbers for RHD.

 

[Racer65]

Thanks for the confirmation. Please let me know if you have part numbers for RHD.

For some reason, the only part # I could find for RHD are sealed beam headlamps, which is not what these are.

Hey Roger

How's that wiper motor switch cover coming. Any ETA?

I was tempted to call you last week. The wife and I spent the night in SF last night and came down the 101as far as Morgan Hill this afternoon on the way home. Our schedule was stupid tight tho, which is why I didn't tempt fate.

You probably zoomed by several of us. I think @Fast Eddy was in the route as well!

Regarding the switch cover, after evaluating it I think the most economical way to make a $5 part like that would be with a 3D printer. I decided not to make that one until I get my own 3D printer (which may be in the cards some day, but not at this time). I'll send that one back to you.

@JohnnyC it could be a good project for you.

 

[JohnnyC]

I could try that one... I have a good one on my truck

It would be a bit before I can try it however

I traded heavy, rusty Toyota metal that I wasn't using for shiny, new(ish) Toyota metal that I need. Bargain. Thanks again Mark!

Racer or Sarge, whoever wants to see a Darth Vader dash light. I would be happy to let you borrow mine. View attachment 1238383

Hey guys, I have a dumb question. What is the period correct color of the Darth Vader light cover? Coolerman's sample cover is kind of dark. I've seen other covers on the internet that are silver, and I've also seen ones that are black:

Mine is a bit darker silver, but it came from a 1970 FJ40 FST.

No, this floor mat is for '73 to '78. As covered earlier in the thread, the TOYOTA logo in the heel pad area is done away with due to copyright reasons, so the heel pads resemble a late model design.

I'm not totally sure if the mat works for earlier years. This post talks about the differences in the floors, but someone with the early trucks will need to weigh in on whether it's enough of a difference to pose fitment issues for the floor mat.

The '79+ mat is quite different for sure. That'll be another project for another day.

Roger,

Any idea what pricing will be on your mat?? I am sure many of us are anxious...........

 

[Fast Eddy]

I will drill my dash for a darth vader light. It should match the glove box, IMO.

 

[myquestoyota]

I'm thinking the same thing.

I saw this on a post on Facebook for a South American one I think the fj company that does them is where the picture came from

Looks like they did it in pewter

Just found the following in a box that has been sitting in my parents garage for the past 15 years (along with a pair of 70 series turn signals).

Pretty sure these are weatherstripping needed for a set of factory soft doors. Minus the wing windows. Are these parts still available, or unobtanium?

Real Treasure, especially those ST door weatherstrips. Lock them in a strong safe. Wondering if you will ever use 2 hood spears, send one my way.
