^ Mate in oz had one of that vintage. 3 speed transmission and separate L/H and 2WD/4WD shifters. Ancient 4L petrol motor that had gobs of torque down low. Did well on the sand but horrible anywhere north of 45mph 
Built like a tank and that's what convinced me to buy my mq patrol back in 1980. Had the choice to go with a diesel 40 or the diesel patrol. Chose the patrol and it was a good decision since it's still a SWB but has considerably more room in the back for supplies when heading out bush for a few weeks.
Aftermarket turbo to give the old sd33 a bit of help on the hwy. Had just installed a new alternator (GQ diesel version is pretty well a direct fit into the MQ and has the needed vacuum pump on back, for the power assisted brakes). Straps on the donaldson air filter assembly aren't yet cinched down.
cheers,
george.
