Parting Out What's a '75 FJ40 FST complete bow and door set worth?

My two cents, $1,200 for the bow set, assuming it is complete with the windshield bracket, and $800 for the doors, assuming they are complete with the weatherstripping brackets that bolt to the outside edge of them. Quite a bit less if you don't have those parts, as they can't be found, so someone will have to want to mock up something workable (like $500 for the pair without them).
That would be if you sell seperately. If it were me & I wasn't in a hurry, I'd keep them all together & ask $2,500 for the whole set & not really negotiate much. They are worth it to a person with a white original 40 that isn't restoring. The whole set would drop right in & look perfect on day one.
Of note, those are early/soft top door bows, so they won't fit perfectly for anyone with a later truck (bent door uppers) that wants to run their hard doors, so the market isn't quite as large as, "anyone that wants a soft top" so to speak.

Thing keeping the bows and top together is the way to go. The B pillar bend on hard tops and hard doors do not match either. Thought Toyota never imported bows and soft doors with the bend. Parts numbers for the B pillar bow change 9/74. Never sure if was because of a bend. Obviously it was for the room light.
Some pictures of the rest of the cruiser especially the rear sill would help with the decision to sell it whole including the doors and bows. Have to decide are the bows/doors and cruiser worth more together or separate. Would definitely try selling the cruiser whole before parting it out.

Appreciate the feedback from all! It’s arctic in Oklahoma for the next 2 weeks. Once we thaw, I’ll dig out all parts for the soft top, doors and bows and get some better pics of them and the truck.

I have a '65 bought from @whitey45 with the help of @HelloKitty65, I'd love to buy the bows, soft top and doors as a package.
Let me know whenever you can, no hurries, this winter has been brutal, I'm in NJ and I can't imagine how its been over there.
Cheers!
