To focus on my FJ55 I need to clear room in my garage so I’m selling my diesel project. I’m just looking to get out of it what I have in it. $1700. It would be worth more if I were to part it out but I don’t personally believe in parting out rigs that could be kept on the road. So if that’s your intent then don’t tell me. I won’t part it at this time so please don’t ask.
Specs:
1983 BJ60 (Canadian model)
3B Diesel engine
H55 Trans (yes the much sought after 5 spd.)/ Split Case TC
PS, PB, No A/C
Stock rims, stock size tires
12V electrical system – yes this is a 12V not a 24V system
Clear AZ Title
History (as it was related to me by seller, a local LC Guru)
A gentleman bought this truck in Canada and soon after moved to New Hampshire. He then retired to Tucson where the truck has been for 20+ years. It has long since dried out from its northern life and has very little effects of northern winter driving. The truck had been well cared for mechanically before the cylinder head cracked (common for very high mileage 3B’s). It had 473K kilometers (almost 300K mi.) before that happened. The truck would still crank when I bought. It does not appear to have been abused or even wheeled hard, country road driving at worst.
Body is a little rough. It has dents and dings, a few very small rust holes over the rear fenders. All the glass is good. The interior is no too bad. Driver’s seat is well worn. The dash pad is in fair condition. It needs a new front carpet and new headliner. Rear carpet and rear seat are fairly decent. I wouldn’t look to restore this truck but it would make a great expedition or trail truck.
There are many options to get this truck back on the road. Such as: Sourcing a lower mileage Canadian 3B (their bodies rust out before the engine gives out), buy a new Australian high nickel cylinder head (widely used in Coasters and LCs down there), or drop in a complete Aussie 3B sourced from an importer or Cruiser parts dealer. Complete rebuild kits are also available through companies such as Roo Dogs in AU for much less than domestic sources. As you can tell I’ve researched this project fairly well so if you have any questions please feel free to PM me.
Cheers,
Norm
