Me and my dad are going to swap a 12ht into a 1973 fj45 Ute and we don’t have much of an idea on what we’re doing so it would be good if we could get some pointers
We’ve found out that apparently you need a 2h bell housing to fix the angle of the gearbox but we are having a hard time finding one
We have been looking into a long range fuel tank and have found a company called long range automotive and they have a auxiliary tank that can go up above the drive shaft behind the cab but we don’t know if we will be able to fit the tuned tray that we want to fit into the tray we want to build I will put a photo of what we want our tray to look like
I have been looking at rums and I was thinking of going with Sunraysias but I think I like the look of the D shape headlocks better but with those rims we are going to need better suspension we were thinking of either going with the old man emu or swapping suspension from our 60 series donor that we are getting the motor brakes and diffs out of I will put a photo of the 60 below
With the 60 we are going to take the ax compressor from it since we want to put aircon in our fj but I haven’t been able to find any good company’s for a rh drive version so if you know any comment could you let me know
We have a pretty rough interior in the fj but we were thinking of putting a hj47 dash in but we might be able to fix up the old dash
I have been looking at led headlights for the fj and apparently I need a Cancun cancellations module but I’m not sure since I saw the guy using that on his 75 and I don’t know if you need that for a 45 so if you know any good headlights or anything about putting them in let me know, also our original candles haven’t been working and last time they didn’t we had to replace the light switch but now they don’t work again so if anyone knows why that would be greatly appreciated
We have got a bull bar for the fj it is a old arb one from when they brand it out a few years ago I will put a photo of it down below but if you know any good brands for winches and driving lights let me know
Currently the Ute is an orange colour but we are going to be painting it the 79 series cream colour like the colour of the tray inspo photo down below I was also wondering if we should pint the apron around the lights white or keep it black like it is right now
If you know anything about the conversion and what we can do to it it would be appreciated, thanks

. It’s a customer truck so no longer available for me to go look at. Can dig up pictures in my phone photo album as well. Not rocket science but I do recall alignment in the engine bay was the toughest challenge. Do you have the HJ61 engine frame mounts or going to fab your own?
