Bought myself a 1971 FJ40 and wanted to know what the standard rear tail lights look like?
The mounting holes in the chassis appear to small for the later model lights.
It also has a separate reverse light in the tub.

Are they the same for the SWB cruisers?
Spent a fair bit of time on ih8mud, but the earlier cruisers have a single round red tail light.
I assume in Australia they would have needed an indicator.
Might have to make some LEDS fit.

As far as i know In Aus yes, the same light was fitted to 40's. my 68 shorty had the small hole for the taillight as well.
There's a bit of info in the first couple of pages of this thread
