New Piglet - last pig ever made (1 Viewer)

[PabloCruise]

Wow, that is just beautiful. Where are you located...In fact, what is your exact address and a good time to find you not home with the pig sitting alone in the driveway?

Just out of random curiosity of course..

 

[TuffMudder]

Of course

 

[Finalpig]

This one has factory Nippon Denso A/C as well as power steering. I am happy to reveal its location. It is somewhere in Australia.

 

[TuffMudder]

hmmm, i may need something a little more specific. Seriously though, that is a truly beautiful pig. I've always been jealous of the ambulance doors

skywalker meets vader. piglet meets his father. I found another gem. It is a V not a LV

That angle shows why those trucks define "butt ugly" -- but I like it.

Just watched the vid mate great looking rig. I owned a 72 & 79 model many years ago. Wish I had never sold them.

Does this mean front disk brakes were on option 76/77+ Australian Pigs? I am curious why the last FJ55s made may have been produced with front drum brakes?

My 78 pig has front drum brakes. She comes from Australia.

 

[Finalpig]

My drums definitely original down to AISIN hubs. I doubt someone went from discs to drums over the years. I'm just amazed the factory nippon denso ac is cooler than my late model 4x4. Curious to know if the last Australian pigs had AC and powersteering as standard or were they options. The radiator in this AC car is completely different size to the standard FJ55 radiator. No new replacement. it needs to be recored.

 

[tatat]

Perhaps your ac is cooler than your late model, cause often they mix hot and refreshed air for the regulation and late models just give ice cold until the asked temp is raised? Anyway it is this sort of facts I love on old cars .

That's the same that was previously posted by another Australian.

It was marketed as "possibly the latest FJ55 ever" and, if memory serves, was blue and white.

I can't find on phone, but there was a chart on an FJ56 Facebook page that showed both FJ55R and 56 production dates, likes SORs, for the non-US market.

It's in Japanese, so don't know how to search for, but it pops up on my "feed" every now and then, so surely a way I can find.

Have to ask my teenage daughter this afternoon.

Google Translate man!

Just for reference, my 78 Australian FJ55 (mechanical wind down rear window) has power steering and front disc brakes, no air con.

Drum brakes and barn doors were known as the ' poverty pack' as they were the base no frills model sold. Ironically they are more sought after because of the doors now.

Was that a full floater back there?

I will PM you Thor, but I am interested. Where are you located?

 

[PabloCruise]

Here is the engine plate 7/80 which I assume means July 1980

So cool!
