TLC on UsedVictoria thread... (ongoing)

[seapotato]

Adam used to... I drove it in it once.... had a 350 but was in good shape.

A looong time ago there was a nice blue one on the island, Tyler had it.

This was pre victoria cruisers.

Was some sort of freaky cosmic convergence that day...me, rigpig, the crusties AND a 55 all wheeling.

Back when poo brown 60's were breeding.

had to dig out this pic to see if it was the same blue 55...didn't really think it would be, that blue one in the pic was pretty nice.

decent looking 40 in the interior, other than the excressence under the hood.

 

[seapotato]

And a cool old Mog.

Cool mog, looks like fun. Didn't know thy had a Diesel engine option in the mid 50's but then again I don't know a lot about them. I wonder if it could cruiser faster than sixty? Km/h that is...

 

[seapotato]

yeah, I don't know...60km/h would probably be scary fast in that thing...

It was for sale a year or two ago for about 6k. would be fun, but probably a nightmare to find original parts for.

Looks small compared to most mogs.

Cheapest good running LJ78 I've ever seen:

Seller sure seems like a nice guy from the add description.....(can't really blame him though) That colour is about as attractive as the engine IMO.

None the less thats a cool truck.

 

[slowandsteady BJ]

Woah, cool truck.

Lots of pics and more info on this truck on mud somewhere...I forgot where I saw it. Maybe the 70 series forum, classifieds, diesel tech, I forget sorry.

 

[Diesel Cruiserman]

Woah, cool truck.
http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/van/cto/3897031840.html

All the coool kids are having one of these trucks, Woody is having one built by Redline.... Of course Yooper had one built few years back by Proffits..

I think the cool factor truck was a troopy hz75 I saw at pismo many moons back owned by beans who does not frequent this forum any more, he has a 1hdt replacing the 1hz.....

 

[ForealBoreal]

My old truck that I ended up selling.
He has a few threads showing what he did. One in the 70 section and the other in the for sale section.

You're not kidding when you say you are a 70's nut.

This line in the add puzzles me a bit if you owned it.....
(1 owner its entire life in Dawsons Creek BC, not used for mining, owners personal truck)

Still a sweet ride. I love the fact its so confused. Convertible, RHD or LHD, pickup truck.....add a turbo and some extra fuel and it has some sports car in it. Sweet.
