Hi guys, finally we just took apart the engine and it looks like we have to change the head gasket, cylinder sleeves, pistons and rings. So far these are the things that we need to replace. Waiting to check if the head needs to be replaced too. Will continue on Monday. Should I still change...

Tire size on the set now is 31x10.5R15LT

Hi guys, I am trying to get a set of steel wheel for a 1992 75 series pickup. I came across this set locally. But I am not sure about the offset. The seller can’t tell me the ET number. He doesn’t know the offset too but he sent me a photo. From the photo I am not sure what the offset is. Maybe...

We don’t have any good fabricator here. So I am only trying to do the best we can and at least bring it back to good working condition first. I mainly use it for work. I have couple good welders that do heavy machinery welding work. I am certain that they will make the bed strong and usable...

Nice work you got. I just got a 75 series pickup and I am going to fix the truck bed like what you did. Hope it can come out as good as yours.

Just curious. Is the color greyish olive green 6H9? It looks lighter than the greyish olive.

Thanks for the reply. I am thinking to remove the bed as the first step. Then I can have a better picture and also easier to work on other things. In here, it will be very difficult to locate a used 70 series truck bed. So I need to see what other options I will have. May need to be creative...

Hi guys, on another thread, I mentioned I am going to get a 75 series pickup. It’s a 1992 two door pickup with a 3B engine. The engine sounds okay. But the body shape is not good. There are some rust underneath the truck bed. But it seems the chassis is okay without rust. I haven’t lifted it up...

Luckily on the tarmac roads or “highways” here, we don’t have any slopes. It’s always flat. I am going to take the 75 series pickup in a few days. i will keep you guys posted. Thanks.

That’s good to know. I was only concerned that the 3B won’t be able to haul 1000kg of cargoes in the back. I don’t mind driving slowly.

I agree with you guys. Keeping the 14B as a backup in my garage might be the decision. In the meantime I will try to get the 75 pickup sooner and just fix it so it can drive normal first. I will worry about the paint job later. I also don’t prefer the 3B but this is what I have to deal with at...

Hi guys, I just came across a 1992 75 series pickup locally today. Two door version. 4 speed manual though. Originally it had a 1PZ. The guy changed to a 3B engine now. Need to do some work on it like clutch, brake lines and new paint job etc. no airco. May need more fixes once I start this...

After I towed the car back to town, I started the engine and it would start but die immediately. I needed to step hard on the gas pedal so it will remain idle and I drove it for about 20 meters to park. The engine seems having no pressure. I also hope it won’t be a big problem and I will...

No, I am not in the USA (I used to). But if I can find the parts in the states, I can get them shipped to Miami, FL and then I will have a way to ship them to me.

Thanks for the suggestion. Parts are not easy to find here. I may have to order it and ship them. But shipping is also a little difficult and costly. That being said, I will try to open up the engine and see what the problem is. My friend has the 14B engine so I can take it when I really need to...
