HJ/ FJ 60 OEM Frame

[BjarniThor]

Hello,

I am from Iceland and own a 1987 HJ61 cruiser with the 12HT turbo diesel engine. I want to restore the truck, but doing so I would need a new frame. The existing one is rusted, conditins in
iceland are difficult in terms of rust, e.g saltspreyed roads in the winters. Question is wether a new OEM fram isa available for the 60? There are probably some differences between the HJ and the FJ, but probably nothing major? If available where to ask for it?
Also if not available, I would then search for a very good used frame. And then where to search? I hope some of you can help. These trucks have been popular here in Iceland, but since of the conditions, it is almost impossible to find a used frame in good condition.

Best regards,
Bjarni Thor Hafsteinsson

BjarniThor welcome.
Might want to try www.cruiserparts.net

I got a mint condition frame from them over the summer at a really good price.

Shipping wouldn't be cheap for you though I would imagine.

I don't have a frame for you but does your rig have a factory full float axle? If it does I sure would like to know what the door sticker says for the rear axle load rating is. And I am jealous, I want a 12HT for my 62...

Best of luck with that frame

I am positive I could find an HJ60 frame in rust free condition here in Central America. Read my thread on the frame swap on my BJ60. If you want, we can send one over. If you get a few guys together I'm sure we could fill a container for you!!
