Just put the Troopy up on eBay... Great truck. Really don't want to sell but it just didn't get the wife acceptance factor (after she encouraged me to buy it in the first place!).

Monday bump
Sweet troopy!
What kind of mileage does it get and does it have 1 fuel tank or 2 of them, as sometimes I've seen.
With fully fueled up (whether 1 or 2 tanks, but I'm guessing just one since it was not mentioned), what's the cruising range?
Also, please pardon my ignorance, but it probably does have the PS/PB, right?
Anyway, good luck with the sale!

I'm always tempted by these trucks, but I always get stuck on LHD issue and not really wanting to go through all of the effort to convert one.
I kind of like the smoker on the fender....at least that way you get a perfect view of how much deeper you can plunge that front end under!

Didn't meet the reserve I was looking for 
It has 1 tank, no PS or PB. It does have front disks. One of the things that surprised me on this truck when I got it was how strong the brakes are.
I'm getting about 20MPG if I keep it at 55. As soon as you start in the 60-65MPH range it drops pretty quick dowm to about 15mpg. If I end up keeping it think I'm going to put the 3.73 3rd members in.

It's odd that its such a late model without power steering. I was under the impression that 80 -84 came standard with power steering. Would you be interested in a trade?
Hj47's never got ps from the factory, only fj45 with a gas engine got ps! Hth
My rhd Aussie 1981 hj47 had factory air (Nippon Densen)... No power steering though.
