Hi all,
Today I was musing through the local ads and came upon a new soft top for an early landcruiser. The guy had lost the tag on the box and didn't know what it fit exactly, I described my '75 FJ40 to him and from what we both gathered it seemed to be the top I was looking for. I went down and pulled it out of the box, it looked to be the right size and shape so I bought it. On the way home I was trying to figure out how it was held up along the top since the 40's top comes completely off. After I got to reading the instructions it shows a picture of a cruiser similar looking to a 40, only the door handles are just below the windowsill (higher than a 40), the wing window has a wider divider between the door glass, the doors have a solid frame all the way around them, and the directions talk about leaving some roof bows in place after removing the original top. Is this for a different year of 40 or for a different model? Any ideas of what it was actually for? Thanks for the help guys.
