Anyone heard of Arkana? (1 Viewer)

[new45]

Hi all,

I was just scrolling through a facebook group and I found some obscure references and some unreliable information on 'Arkana' apparently a custom body building shop that does all sorts of wierd things to landcruisers.

Now my HJ47, which is an old farmers ute from northern NSW (other side of Aus from the Arkana company) and it has an arkana stamp inside footwell?

anyone with information?

You sure you're not mistaking Arkana with Arakawa (which is in my RH footwell):

Arkana was a Western Australian company who did a lot of four door conversions for the 40 series.. their classic one was the 4 door with the utility rear.. this sort of thing.. I believe the company doesn't exist anymore.

Thanks guys,

Pictures would be ideal in this situation.

x 2 because I think yours really says Arakawa and not Arkana...

I don't see the relation to Arkana or Arakawa.
