Toyota forklift restoration - info needed

Hello everyone. I've found this web site looking for information about old Toyota forklift I just bought and I'm trying to restore. I'm trying to find out any information about this forklift, including when this forklift was manufactured. On the front side of the forklift there are two plates, first containing this numbers:

62-2FG25
60-2FG25-10035
8740 LBS

and the second one containing this information:

On the right side of the forklift on the frame where the hood meets, along the edge there also number, same as the one on the plate:

60-2FG25-10035

On the engine hood on the right side there is this plate:

I'm also trying to find out any information about distributor block/controle valve, how to repair it, where to buy another one, because mine is broken. I think this is also called 3 Spool Hydraulic Valve. Here are the pictures of mine:

Another thing I'm trying to find more information about is LPG system on my forklift. It's IMPCO system consisted of VFF30 vacuum fuel lock/filter with two stage converter model J and carburetor CA 50. I don't know if I'm missing some part of LPG system.

On the engine, there is a number: 5P-0002149

I don't have anything in Toyota manuals that goes back that far.
The oldest manual I have covers the 3FGCU models. The print date for that book states it is an updated publication covering all 3F models from 1974 (and later).
Knowing that Toyota often has continuing production of a prior model even after a succeeding model has already begun production and marketing just makes it harder to pinpoint a range of model years.
My guess on the actual age of a 2F would be from the early 1970s to the late 1970s.
As has been stated, a good Toyota dealer might be able to tie a build date to the serial number. It's old!

There should be a fitting on the fuel line between the tank and the Model J called a bulkhead. That is where the hose goes from the outside of the lift through to the engine compartment. That has a little metal filter in it. The VFF30 has a large filter in it, under the one cover.

Thanks mrfixit. This is great news. Do you know if I need any kind of filters for LPG installation?

You pretty much have all the info from the ID plates
model 62-2FG25
serial 10035
motor Toyota 5P

Those are the 3 parts for a common Impco fuel system. The only thing missing are the hoses.
Depending on what is wrong with the hydraulic valve, it might be repairable. The seal kit is Toyota # 04671-20340-71. A hydraulic repair shop can do that.
A Toyota dealer or someone who specializes in forklifts should be able to get any parts you need. The dealer can let you know the model year by the serial number. It's old.
