A 60 with a 6.5 Detroit V8 in it!! Lets see some pics, we like 60's they are really rare in the UK.

i bet its an awesome truck with the V8 powerplant. Did you do the conversion yourself? if so what was the donor vehicle? It looks so straighter than the vast majority of UK trucks. Tons of questions to ask so get ready!!

andy yes has some real grunt , the conversion was done by brunswick diesel in west australia they import the motors from the usa . 240000 km on the clock an the new motor went in at 119000 km . the cruiser was import from japan i think and has all the sahara featurestheres no rust at the moment top of the roof a bit faded an just fitted some new mud tyres 33 12.5 by 15 so have to try her out up a couple of hills IMG_2082.jpg
 
This is my HJ61 from Finland. It has 460000 odo reading, runs great. Everything is original. I have to fix some rust, mainly rear part as usual. Already bought new front and back fenders and front end panel, i´ll paint this car also with original colour. I have original fender extensions (fibreglass) but i´m not putting them back. I made new back bumpers, using 3mm steel. Picture shows cruiser as it was when i bought it, just removed fender extensions.

this is mine, not quite looking like this at the moment, but keen to get the few bits sorted as I find the 70 series to small

I saw this when out and about today, with a bullbar like that I had to stop and snap it

I'd say that is a Aussie import. High roof and fibreglass arches were popular in Oz and those wheels are Australian made as well. The Roo bar looks substantial to say the least. Sliding rear windows and front quarterlights are distinctive of that area market. It's a pity you didn't get a shot of the interior, at that age it could be a diesel,turbo diesel or a 4.2 petrol :icon-biggrin:
