The only thing I can say is WOW! That this is awesome. Didn't even know they made an ST Troopy.

Thanks guys, i didn't know either till i saw this one long ago.
When new the chassis was treated with thick tectyl or dinitrol spray. It came of partially and looked weird, like rusted etc. but by taking it away the original shining paint of the chassis came forward. Going to restore the body work.

First time poster - FJ45RV-KCQ

Hi All

Inherited the family truckster a few weeks ago and I'm looking to give it some TLC. My Dad bought it new in 1984 for $13 000 Australian dollars. It's original and only regular maintenance performed (no mods, changes etc). Stripes, bull-bar ate came from the dealership. A small amount of corrosion in the front radiator panel. It has factory power steering!! (I am grateful.)

Also has a couple of minor niggles - odometer only works in tenths of a kilometer (won't 'turn over' the next digit). Also, I'm struggling to find a rear assembly for the door securing mechanism in the back swing doors. (Currently it only locks via the top pin/tongue - rear lower assembly is missing.)

My new hobby car - I learned to drive in this thing!!

regards to all - and thanks for all your (indirect) help on this forum.

Nice troopy mate, great to see that it's being kept in the family.

Thanks herbs. She used to live in Cairns - but I'm moving her to Port Macquarie (cockroach country!).

She should be good to move my fishing kayaks around!

1965 original

Here's my 65 without a tailgate.....lol...sourcing this out with all your help along with those pesky bugcatcher seals. Waiting on Aussie Grill Guard from 4 plus & having a custom cage top put on the back and installing the troopy seats on either side of the wheel wells.

Jim, Those add on improvements will really be an attention getter (as a rare FJ45 pickup already gets stares) and also nice for business. Post some photos when you complete the additions. Nice truck!
