**My experience is with the 75 / 79 Series Utes.Lots of changes.
Coil spring
Better quality interiors and fit/finish
Slightly better corrosion resistance
and just not having to deal with a 25 year old truck and the beatings put on in by previous owners.
There is ZERO rational reason that a new 70 series can't be imported here.
Coil Springs ….. still rides like a buckboard.
Better quality interiors and fit / finish ….. haven’t really noticed that. (Slightly more leg room)
Slightly better corrosion resistance ….. key word is here is perhaps “slightly”.
… and just not having to deal with a 25 year old truck and the beatings put on it by previous owners. ….. no arguing that upkeep is necessary but it is achievable.
There is ZERO rational reason that a new 70 Series can’t be imported here …. Other than the fact it wouldn’t sell in significant numbers, you are correct.
