It is my understanding that it was an early FJ-55 thing.
In the past, I had ordered the ignition switch for a 1971 FJ-55 and it arrived with a large, double-sided Toyota key in that switch assembly, with that plate.

Thanks for the insight Steve. I ordered it from SOR a decade ago and it came in a sealed Toyota bag.
I’m considering running the faceplate on a newer switch on my 45 project but haven’t decided. Thought it would be cool but if it’s not a 40 thing maybe folks wouldn’t be interested.

This is the switch it came with and large key as Steve suggested...
Compared to a slightly newer switch that’s still available. I don’t like the giant key. Faceplate fits the newer-ish switch too.

Back to the drawing board. Some of you can tell what it is.
Any update on the outer sash and run? I'm just finishing my 83 LX restoration and I'm in dire need of these pieces.

If the logo bothers people we'll take it out
This one will be a more limited run, so the current thought is to build the logo in per asking.

I miss my Toyota logo on my floor mat... But the replacement still is very awesome!

The run is in production, so may be ready within a month. The outer sash unfortunately will require another iteration. We need to remove a few centimeters from the length. It's what happens when you don't have a Troopy on site to test with.

It's not a replacement. This is an entirely different mat for '79 to '84 model years only.
Rog glad you clarified that on the floor mat. Wish the one for the ‘78 had the logo....

Ohh...can we ask for a run of the earlier mats with the "TOYOTA" now too?
I've been on the fence on that one but would definitely buy one if it had the 100% original look. I assume I'm not the only one in that boat.
Love mine.. dont care about the missing logo

Yup I could see the different shape vs. my vintage. I understand why it was necessary to not include the Toyota on it. Just a little jealous of the new mat... Maybe I need to buy a newer 40...

Sorry, didn't mean to open up 
. The '73-'78 mat will not be revisited for a number of reasons. It's not trivial to reinsert the logos because it affects the grid lines. Also, as previously explained, older trucks are more numerous and it'll be difficult to fly under the radar.

Notice the mat will have no cutout for the parking brake lever, due to the need to satisfy by LHD and RHD variants. However, there will be dots on the mat to help guide the cutting, as is the case with OEM mats. Thanks to @Economist LC76 for the valuable tip.
Who's gonna tell 'em.
You?
I was under the impression it was illegal to do without authorization. Also, I would not tell them but these aftermarket Toyota parts are not hiding somewhere. They are clearly in internet stores etc.. for anyone to see. Personally, I really do not think Toyota would make a fuss and maybe even approve.
People print/make stuff all the time in small batches with trademarked logos...most notable clothing.
Is Toyota still making the floor mat?
