yeah im finding that out. so do you know if you got doors from an aussie supplier if there would be any huge problems with putting them on a local cruiser
I know people here have discussed trying to convert their tailgated pigs to an ambulance style. But I don't know if anyone has actually done it. I'd imagine there would have to be substantial modifications to the rear in order to accommodate the doors. Granted anything is possible with enough time, money, and skill.
As for a supplier I have no idea. perhaps one of our Auzzie friends will chime in here.....
here's some links to threads on this. you can see more if you search "ambulance" in the fj55 section.

There are piggys with barn doors here in Central America too. There was one at the wrecker about two months ago when I was there last. I'm not sure if it's still there but if someone wants barn doors badly enough I'm sure I could bring up a pair. I'd probably just have the wreckers whack off the last 6-12" of the truck so it's all there. Unfortunately I don't have a picture of it that I can find.

Ambulance doors where offered every place except the USA. And there were less made then regular tailgate styled 55's. I used to have a link to a japanese site that had all the factory production numbers and the translations.

Why is it that here in australia we got all the good stuff? Maybe Toyota Australia had a better friendship with the lads in Japan? Seems we lost some of the stuff you guys got too.
We Got
Choice of Barn Doors or Tailgate
Full Floater rears
Standard Retractable frt Seat Belts and static Rear lap/sash
Two Tone Rear Lenses
Guess really it's not too many differences. We got Diesel Engines in the 60 Series, Which Personally, having both had both Petrol and Diesel, is a huge bonus.
Unfortunealty,
Electric Rear windows are very rare here, and seemed to be only available up until 1973 or maybe even earlier. We also missed out on Wheel Hubcaps, and it also seems that only the White over Brown colour option was offered after about 1973

Well I pulled this set of barn doors from a '55 here in Guatemala. Currently, John aka "greasecruiser" has dibs on them, if he decides he doesn't want them then they will be available to whoever gets me a deposit to hold them. I'll be heading north and passing through most of the western states, WA, OR, ID, UT, CA, NV, AZ, CO, NM and TX so delivery there within reason is possible.
They are complete with all hardware (hinges, catches etc.) but no frame from the truck body itself.
