More info on 3/4 Troopy

[cactus]

Does anyone out there have any more information on this truck ?

I found this picture on here somewhere but haven't managed to be able to find it since.

Anyone... ? Anyone... ?

If I'm not mistaken, this is a TLC BJ43. As I've heard about it, it is very rare to find.
But here in Brazil, they are very common. Only they are not know as Toyota Land Cruiser but Toyota Bandeirante.

Here is a picture of my Toyota Bandeirante:

By the way, the main difference between the TLC and the Bandeirante is the engine. Here ALL the bandeirante had diesel engine from 1961 until the end (2001).
From 1961 until 1994 they came with a Mercedes Benz engine and after 1994 they came with the Toyota 14B engine.

Don't know if that would help you, but over in Australia a guy named Roothy is well known for his chopped Troopy. I suppose u have heard about him anyway now that I see you are from Victoria.

As far as I know the frame etc is stock and he mainly chopped the body.

I'm planning on stretching a '72 USDM 40 to 43 length. It's down for the count fighting the rust demons off, so I figured I may as well go crazy. Nonetheless, there are far more 40's than 45/47 troopies out there, it may be cheaper to add than to subtract.

The photo in the first picture is in NO WAY a BJ43.

This is the latest adjustment, coils front and rear.

Amazing how much better it is to drive...

Sexy!

Yup.... those are all chopped 45/47s and the Bundy is a chopped troopy of theirs too.

A 43/44/46 looks like my avatar. 14 longer body and the wheels are only pushed back 6" from a 42.

Edit: better picture in my garage:

I'm working on a stretched 40. Wheelbase will be a minimum 117" (might flip the rear springs to give me better departure angles and a little mor wheelbase). Take a look at my build thread in my sig.
