have purchased an old fj40 to restore as a hobby. If anyone has any parts especially bucked seats and appropriate brackets as
well as other bits and pieces let us know.

Great little vehicles, but the original seats are SO hard. With one, we went to a wreckers and found a pair of more comfortable seats which had come from a Sigma
sedan. They bolted right in with no adaptations needed. Their main drawback was body rust. I still have spots of paint on my floor from when the panels of one were rust treated and repainted. Good luck with your project.

the only other source is look for a wreck - getting rarer unless you travel to remote parts where there's still plenty sitting in peoples backyards .... difficulty is getting them to part with them
