thanks for that I'll look further into it in my part of the globe, not sure if we get them here! I like the look of the original 47 split rim but hate the constant flat tyres!! so looking for something similar in 16" cheers

well if you do remember or find out please let me know as im in the same sinking boat as you, i've had to butcher mine to get it working as mine is a daily driver!!

Climbermac, nice truck! im interested in the rims you have, you mentioned they are 16x7's, i'am looking for a stock looking rim for my 47 as i'am not completely happy with the sunrasier's i currently have, major scrubbing issues!! if possible can you do me a big favour and measure the back...

sounds like a bunch of fun mate, good luck with it all. the power steering from a 60 series wont bolt up to the 47 bracket, a mate of mine and others i've seen mount the 60 series unit on the chassis rail in front of the wheel, between the grill and bullbar, it does work better there, less...

hey mate, yea the rear tail shaft needs to be shortened and the front shaft lengthened for the 5 speed swap (NOTE: to service the hand brake drum on the rear of the gearbox with the 5 speed, you will need to un bolt the gearbox cross member and lower the gearbox down slightly to clear the round...

plain old 80w/90

i'll make it 209 with my daily driver....

i dont think i have a pic of mine...well what it did look like. my hj47 came with one but a faulty diesel filter ended its life coming home from a hunting trip...it was drenched in diesel and could not get the smell out of it even after we washed and dried it out and let it sit for 4 months...it...

yea the utes are a pretty rough ride! I've got the old man emu leaves in mine with the greaseable shackles, the front is rated at about 200kg over standard and the rears are a 9 pack...not sure of load rating but work well in troopys apparently

nice truck there mate, i like the mustard! its one of those classic cruiser colours from back in the day, i have a 2inch suspension lift in mine but with 31's, i wouldn't go anything higher for offroad use....they become way too top heavy especially if you have a dog cage or canopy on the back...

there are many tricks and tips to these old trucks mate....too many to mention....if you have a problem or question just post it on here and im sure someone will help. Parts: depending on where you are in N.S.W, im in sydney and dont forget pictures...these blokes on mud get angry if theres no...

:doh: oh yea forgot to mention...check your glow plugs if they're stuffed, take off the alloy strip that connects them all and run a wire from your positive on the battery and just touch the top of them, if you get a spark it means they're good...no spark and theyre :censor: if even 1 of them...

congrats on buying your new 47, the smoke in the mornings is a factory feature in the 2h motor:clap: as long as the smoke is white/gray in colour you shouldnt have a problem, it will be running rough for a minute or 2 but then even out nicely, just lift the hand throttle so it brings the revs up...

haha thanks mate, that photo was taken at sunny corner a couple hours west of sydney, lately been goin hunting out west...warren, nyngan area, a little around narrabri ...aswell as tamworth cheers
