Sorry to be clear. This has been repainted some time in the recent past. But, there is no trace of original color anywhere. So maybe dipped or blasted. I guess it may require going to a paint shop and getting them to match.

I'm not finding traces of any other colour, under the dash and glove box all looks a similar yellow beige. The truck is a 76. As for the rear tub. I was told that this style was specific to south africa and the trucks were imported without the tubs, and they were built and assembled I country...

I've seen this chart before, but, I'm not sure my colour is on it. I would say its a cross between the yellow and the beige, or maybe the chart isn't a true comparison?

Hopefully you will see more of the color from this picture.

Unfortunately, no Vin tag. This is a bit of a frankstein, that came in from south africa. Will try and post a bigger pic.

Hi folks, Can anyone help me determine if my colour (as seen in the avatar) is original? If so, any clue what its called? Thanks Mike

Ok so I think I have got to the bottom of the issue. Although I won't celebrate just yet as it was an intermittent fault I checked all the connections from the battery to the fuse box , and found there were no breaks. I pulled all fuses except those for starting, in case there was a short...

Hi folks In my last post, I was looking for advice on how to identify my transmission (H55f) so I could find a suitable adapter or bellhousing with a view to connecting to a 1KD-FTV. I didn't seem to get very far. It looks like when installing that engine most have swapped tranny and transfer...

Ok final managed to get some time and take a look underneath. It looks like I have the rubber boot that contains the 5th gear shift rail, on that basis look like the H55f is installed. So back to my other question, does anyone know if there are bellhouse adapters to allow this transmission to...

Hi Folks - New to the forum so please be gentle with me I have recently purchased myself a FJ45 circa 1980. It was imported from South Africa to my home in Edinburgh Scotland. My knowledge of Land Cruisers is relatively sparse. I was looking for a project vehicle that can be adapted and...
