This aftermarket upper half tailgate is solid steel, factory pre-primed and ready for fitting and paint — the correct solution for a restoration or a rust repair on an early Shorty that deserves better than fibreglass or bog.
Key Features

- Pre-primed from factory — ready for surface prep and top coat
- Designed to fit the early 40 Series SWB Shorty upper tailgate aperture
- Minor fitting adjustment standard for aftermarket panels — test fit before painting
- Suits 1968-1980 early Shorty body configuration
- Sold individually
Fitment Note — Read Before Painting
These are aftermarket panels, not Toyota OEM, and are priced accordingly. Minor adjustment on installation is expected — always dry-fit and confirm alignment before any paint work. Hardware, hinges, latch and handle are not included — transfer from your existing tailgate or source separately.
Vehicle Compatibility
Suitable for Toyota Landcruiser 40 Series SWB Early Shorty, built 1968 to 1980, including:
- FJ40, BJ40, FJ45 early Shorty variants
Short wheelbase early Shorty body style only. Confirm your body style and build date before ordering — later Shorty variants from 1980 onwards use a different tailgate configuration.
