FJ55 dual cab ute conversion

[deanfj55]

i found that a nissan patrol ute rear window is the right size & shape marked it out then cut with 4inch grinder. used h tube window channel to fit the glass.

Dean found these pics from somewere in Long Beach, CA. Sometime around 1988-1989. Dont know what happened to this rig but I do know it had a SBC and about a 4" lift. Just some ideas to look at. Crewcab conversion very cool.

Awesome job mate!

That turned out 100% prettier than I thought it would. Kind of reminds me of a 70 series dual cab (chopped troopy) I saw up north once.

Let me know if you need any more 55 bits. I spotted one in my local wreckers (Mittagong, NSW)

Looks great!

What did you finish the interior roof with?

Won't the ARB compressor be a little loud mounted inside?

I think you need to paint the bed White on the outside to match the rest of the body..?? just my opinion..

 

[DHracer3]

I like the White bed...
Just a picture of a 45 I found that looks really good.

 

[CruisinMT]

Hey, great truck. I have to know, what did you do for the interior and headliner? It looks pretty darn good and I have looked all over for what I think that fabric is. Let us know as I am sure at least 3-4 of us would love to have some idea how to pull that off.
