Yeap its rare, i dont know if sell it or repair, hilux way (fenders front etc ) or try to get an hzj cab

 

[renago]

hope you paid a low price for it !
in order to repair and brig it up to original standard you need a HZJ 75 , or 73 cabin .
not a lot of work but difficult to find in Europe

Can you post more pics?
This is definitely a interesting and odd truck.
Are you in the states?
You may be able to use a combination of parts from (pick ups/hilux) and Land cruiser parts to rebuild it!
Good luck and welcome to the forum!.

Thanks for the welcome, im living in spain but in a couple of months, I will go back to the US, here i saw a lot of land cruiser 3 seats two doors with very nice prices, only a few Pick ups but the shipping cost is expensive

I feel sorry for it. Rebuild or put it out of its misery.

Poor old girl had a hard life that's for sure.

This truck is the stuff of nightmares.

Well I guess the cab is not easy to find but it's not impossible, ( I have two projects before a barracuda 69 almost finished and a j20 cummins engine) but I would really like to finish this one

I’d be interested in the front end if you end up changing it back to hilux. Should be easy enough with all the 4runners at the pick n pulls.
75 cabs aren’t easy to find. I found a beat to s*** one that will need everything to bring back to life. It was also an ex mine truck.
Either way you go good luck.

Hello,

x2.

If you opt for bringing it back to life, if you look carefully you can get a cab. Australian wreckers are an optional source but shipping is likely to be expensive.

some work to make 70 series dash work on the hi lux cabin ..

 

[ozcrusier]

There are plenty of cabs available in Australia hj hdj vdj whatever your after but shipping would cost unless you import the whole container. The left hand drive set up would be worth importing a good cab but how does the chassis look.

Yes the chassis is in good condition and the engine and trans to ( my brother send me an video and its look pretty well, guess the dash interior its an original hzj right hand, its possible use this chassis in a 79 series ?

Being a 2005 model I thought it was a 79 series chassis, so adding a 79 series cab should be straight forward. The 79 series started production around 98-99.

Perfect i saw some kits ( whole cab bed fenders etc, and here i found in Germany a 1995 with 500000 km and 8000€ Guess its the best price i saw in Pick ups

 

[roscoFJ73]

You could put a few different types of 7* series bodies onto that chassis

look for the Canadian mining company that was the first owner of this truck, first send to modify the cabin to ONS Company I ignore why, (new truck) also suspended suspension and blocked the hi of the 4x4 so it can only run to about 30 m / h I saw one of the 2011 model for sale with the cabin trimmed from the roof !! I also modified the same Canadian company, about 8000 dlls, I think it's a gold price guess i go for it
