Looks awesome. Interesting snorkel, haven't seen that before.
What have you used on your steps? Is it anti slip tape or paint??

The snorkel is just aluminium box section and yes it is non slip tape. Cheers

Very nice Ute, how about some details. What is hard to register in Queensland? Is that a H55F five speed or some other transmission? Shift cane looks from a 70 series? The AC evaporator looks to be from a LHD by the location of the controls. If so without a factory heater does this offer better foot room for the passenger? Are the interior panels bolted to the steel transmission tunnel, insulation in between? By the location of the seam in the A pillar it started life as 1/75-1/79 FJ45 or a HJ45?

I am going through the engineering process currently. I have applied for a surrogate vin, Then engineering and blue plate. RWC and rego. The gearbox is a H151 with the 1HDT engine. The a/c system is heater and a/c. It is a vintage air product.Yes the transmission tunnel is removable and yes it does have insulation on the underside. It is a 1977 model FJ45. Cheers
