Here are a couple photos of a mate's HJ47 and FJ45. The HJ47 has HJ75 axles, 1HD-T engine, 5 speed and transfer case and cruise control installed. This is the nicest driving Cruiser I have ever had the pleasure of driving. He has on-board water, two large fuel tanks, air compressor with reserve tank and dual batteries.

The FJ45 is a 1964 LWB hardtop which was restored several years ago to better-than-new condition. The truck spent its life in Coober Peedy (in the centre of the South Australian outback), and had done over 300,000 miles before being restored. It did not have a speck of rust, however, so it was a perfect truck- or 'ute' in Aussie-speak, to restore. Additionally, my mate's father sold the truck brand new from their family dealership, so the ute had some sentimental meaning to my mate.

Cheers,

Josh
