My new 80 - picked it up today

ice trucker blinds

Actually these blinds were part of a winter package you could get. Winter package models will also usually have heated seats & heated fuel pump (on diesels, not sure about gas).
I think a lot of truck haev them, owners just dont know about them. have a look, yours might too.

Yes, I have the heated fuel filter. I had the same on the 4Runner - It was good when I was running biodiesel - I could switch on the heater in the filter to melt the fat which used to build up.

I am not sure why these options were sold on UK vehicles as -5c is about as severe as winter gets and that's for maybe 4 or 5 nights in a winter... but who knows, maybe one day I will make it to colder climes in the 80

Would a hand throttle off of a 60 fit an 80? I know my old 60 had a hand throttle, but that was because it had a carb. It was also nice to have for winching.

The USA 62's had them as well.

That's going to be a serious project getting the steering wheel and pedals where they belong,;p

Nice rig.

Very Impressive! Looks like new inside.

But after seeing the exterior color i can't seem to get LeeAnn Rimes first big hit outta my head.

I had flashbacks when I saw the pic of your tire. The PO had put the same Dunlops on my rig before I got it. They were god awful.

Yes, they are rubbish. They must be old because no one sells them anymore. I plan to change them in the next week or so.
