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!
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...

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...
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...
@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...
It's with a bit of a heavy heart I'm posting this guy up for sale. I have both a 45 and a 75 troopy now and I'd really like to focus on the 45.

I really wasn't sure how to price it because mechanically this thing is...

John caught that quickly too when I sent the pics over this morning. I personally think it might look cool to have everything black around the windows and doors, but on a truck so nice and OEM as this one green is the way to go. I had the painter respray that little bit, he said he knew the door...
