It must be an early '78 then. Most '78s have "Radio" at the bottom.

Hmmm maybe it does. IIRC it is an OCT 77 make so you might be right

Am I right about the year or the radio at the bottom?

What's the diameter of your boot at the bottom? Wondering if you have compared against Mr. Gasket #1651?
Production date on my 40 is Oct 78'. This is what my fuse cover looks like.
A new one would be cool but not necessary for my rig.

Well, I don't have one (and have never seen one in person either), so I don't know the diameter. The P.O. installed an OEM transfer case shift boot in its place, which actually looks okay, but in the process also lost the retaining ring. The Mr. Gasket one looks somewhat similar, but I'm not interested in similar.
Thanks.
The above is the OEM three speed transmission shift boot that is being discussed.

What are the chances of recreating the grommet for the fuel line in the floorboard? That would be great! !!

Unless I find some creative way, small grommets are below the threshold from a cost perspective. However, if anyone has that grommet, please post a shot.
Regarding your earlier question about the floormat, I don't have any new update at this point. What I can share is that there is resistance from the supply chain to put the TOYOTA name on there. Nobody wants to be part of a lawsuit even if the chance is remote. The logo may have to be a separate piece that is glued on by the consumer. You'd be hard press to tell the difference if it's done right.
What about "Toyoda"?

It's one of those things that's going to bug you if it's not exactly those 6 characters with exactly that font.
Are you looking into reproducing the rubber boot that connects the front heater to the plastic intake for '73 and below? Or is that still available from Toyota?

Not sure if you're referring to the heater defrost hoses. Those are readily available from SOR.

Just bought one a couple months ago - still available

I just checked ToyotaPartsDeals.com, and those defroster hoses are shown as discontinued; however, SOR is showing they have it in stock.
Cruiserparts.net has aftermarket units available.
