EDIT: 10-3-15 new thread title. Sorry for any confusion.
This thread has evolved quite a bit over the last year or so. Vision and mission for the subject rig have changed....how it will be used, configured, budget, etc. As you will see below, it has evolved from a low-budget NA diesel 4 banger for dump runs to a crate Chebby engined road truck for use as a long-distance touring/trailing rig and daily driver.
Enjoy the ride.
Bought a LHD (Spanish import) from Chris at JDM Landcruisers. One owner, 100k miles, straight body and a good base for a restoration. Currently pending transport via professional Mudship (Aaron) from Nashville to Mukilteo.
The 3B appears to be the victim of poor maintenance, so the working plan is to assess the motor, and if it is not up to the task, fix it or swap it out for something more current.
More to follow as my '88 Vortec wagon goes to market to free up budget.
Thanks to everyone who helped me swallow hard and jump on this one. Lots of excellent support from the 7X community - much appreciated.
