3 red Troopy’s! That’s awesome, I feel like the Carolina’s are starting to catch up with Oregon for pop tops 😂

This thing is looking incredible! FYI I was the original importer from Australia. It arrived here looking decent (for the price) but all that bog work really started falling apart. At the time I wasn’t nearly as good at rust repair as I’ve become now, so I just threw more bog at it and went off...

We’ll be there Thursday night, gonna try to get there in time for dinner! Met quite a few of you a few years back in my 75 troopy, but sold it and my 45 troopy isn’t quite ready yet. I’ll be there in my Tacoma (boo) but I’m excited to see all the 70 series!

I’m up in Tampa, my shop is in Brooksville. Not too far! Shoot me a PM if you need a hand 🙂

Sorry I was slacking on uploading pics this whole time. Thankfully John was there to keep the pics going! There's some cool ones in my flickr album linked to these. A few of my favorites from this weekend! Had a blast, this truck was a real head turner. The color is just amazing... Untitled by...

What are you grinding with? Flap disks? I've gotta do some panel replacement soon and these pics are helping me get an idea of what I'm getting into.

VERY helpful, thank you :)

Thats basically what I was told. 12v motor with 24v starter. The issue is the truck itself is 24v.

1995. And I have Onur assisting with parts already, I guess I was hoping someone had already done something similar and a list of what does and doesn’t swap over. Even stuff like AC compressor seems like it would be 12/24 volt specific.

It’s coming complete out of an 80 series the owner bought for parts, from what I’m told it’s a 12 volt motor with a 24 volt starter and I have access to the whole truck for whatever I need. I found another thread about a 1HDFT swapped 77 that included a 24 volt glow screen part number. I’ll...

I guess my main question is does a 24 volt version of the 1HD-FT exist in any market? If so then parts comparability becomes much easier.

Need some input from people who know more than I do about 24V systems. I have a PZJ77 with 24 volt stock setup. I'm getting a 1HD-FT 24 valve 12 volt engine with an H151 delivered in a few weeks. What sort of electrical compatibility issues am I going to run into? My initial thought is the PZ...

Oh man, I can't wait to see this thing in person!

@divemedic Your Kaymar bumper install writeup was helpful, thanks for that! I ended up using John's original 77 mudflaps and trimming the brackets. I also used the small shims to get the bumper straight with the body lines, I know yours you said you didn't have to use them. Other than that it...

Yep truck is sold! Couldn’t have gone to a better home!!
