That 1983 "HJ60" is most likely a BJ60. HJ60 came with the six cylinder diesel and the BJ60 had the 4 cylinder diesel. There's no real difference between the BJ60 and HJ60 in terms of how the vehicle drives. Both are super slow, unless they're turbo'd.
My suggestion is to compare both vehicles and if the BJ60 is in better overall condition then go for that one, although you have to consider price. Or if you really have your heart set on the HJ60 then either wait for another one to come up or try searching for one in another province. How much is in your budget to spend ?
If you buy a decent BJ60 you can always add a turbo. If you're mechanically inclined you can build up a kit yourself or you can buy kits with everything you need to bolt it right up with no problems. These kits run about $2000-2500....
Keep us up to date as to what you do.
