Does anyone have or know where I could get a chrome front bumper for a 75 series?

Hi I’ve got an fj75 ute with a 350 chev in it. The original gearbox from the 3F is ok but it’s started to make some funny noises, so I’m looking at replacing it rather than having it rebuilt for a second time. Can anyone recommend a decent manual trans that I’d be able to put behind this motor?

I’ve got a 1987 75 series ute in Sandy taupe with a 15,000km old 350 chevy in it. Motor apparently makes 320hp hasn’t been tested on dyno yet. The motor is running a brand new Holley sniper. Has engineering certificate for the motor, lift, tyres, and coils on leafs. Currently registered. Cab has...

Yeah I've seen those. Also I was talking about a bloke from Canada on youtube doing the 80/75 6bt build checked your thread, realised I was watching your vids, and you're not from canada haha

Hey I'm looking at building something unique in the next year or so in my 1990 hzj75 ute. Mainly looking at trying a 12v 6bt with a td42 box and transfer. Anyone done a successful 6bt conversion in a 75? looking at actually building the motor for big power so its not just stock. I know lots of...

Yeah look im trying to turn the fuel up a bit so it blows a bit of black smoke, i've got a egt but turning up the fuel doesnt make it soot at all, bit confused as to how to make it happen on the old motors

Hey I'm trying to turn up the fuel on the old 75 ute, I've attached a pic of the injector pump. My understanding is that the shiny nut in the middle is the locking nut, and the 12mm bolt in it is the fuel screw. It's difficult to get to so to turn up the fuel, would I pull the injector lines off...
