A mate of mine accross the way said his older brother ( his about 68 ) told him that the early FJ's (56) had different grills and front bumpers in them to the later FJ's (58), he reconds the later grills and bumper ar bigger or fater. Is this true? I carnt say I'v ever realy stoped to look at the car shows. How about it guys any answers for me?

Apart from the two tone upholstery with the trim buttons on the 56 update there was a change in the style of the bumper bar over riders on the "air-ride" model . I wasn't aware of any Grille changes with the FJ model

Yes you are correct 48 had different overrides to FJ I thought you meant that earlier model FJs had different overrides to the 56 models

Hi Guys.
AFAIK the FJ style overriders actually started with the air-ride FX in early '53.
