scrapped hj60, what parts are worth keeping

i saw an hj60 being parted out at a breakers. i'm thinking of buying the steering wheel as the one on my hj60 is not original.

while i'm there, what other parts do you think would be worth picking out and kept as spares? (ie. what are some of the more hard to find oem parts?)

tia.

I've got an '88 HJ60. No idea about their prices yet, except for the steering wheel which I was told I can get for 20euros.

Well, considering it's a Euro model, there would be a number of things us 'Mericans would like to have. Sliding rear windows, Euro / aussie mirrors, diesel engines, H55's, etc.

If you're looking for spare parts, just buy the whole thing. You could spend a long time buying parts from various people just to have the one part you never thought you'd need, break.

The whole thing has parts that if in good condition are useful and should live again in another truck.

I wish I could take the whole thing, but I just don't have the space and budget for it.

The relays are useful and anything to do with the glow system.
Diesel dash and gauges might be useful.
Window winder mechanisms are always in demand.
Diesel fuel sedimenter and fuel pick up.
2H engine mount brackets(but they are a pain to grind off)
Anything that can be unbolted really.

Some people make a living on ebay from selling every single little part at $5-$10 a time
