Who is Swagman?

[DBAX]

Driving west on Waddel at Litchfield around 12 noon (9-29), a beautiful RHD, tannish, FJ40(?) with a truckbed and a "canback" and the liscense "SWAGMAN" drove by. I know it's not really a 40, but rather some number/letter designation I'm unfamiliar with (hey, I'm a NISSAN guy ) but man, what a sweet looking Cruiser. A real headturner.. Is he a local here, anyone know about it?

With some help from the cht-cht forum, I believe I've id'd it as an FJ45, like this one..

Dunno... maybe Garie Chavez? He's a Cruiser "swag" seller.

Check his swag at www.cruiserland.com

I Dunno but I saw a RHD International pickup (yellow or tan) on the 101 WB near Tatum. Does that count?

I joined this forum just to solve this swagman issue- he is a buddy of mine- whom I've known for a lon time-being retired he spend half of his time between Aus. and Phx.
he is now in the process of building his house in Tonopah; great guy..
he brought "Matilda" over after he bought her in Aus. and crossed the "bush" with her for 6 months.
With our help, he restored her, locked w/ ARB and now in the proccess of replacing the susp. w/ OME.
The next project is to find a solution to add a power steering set up for the rhd.
any sugestions?

An older Holden steering box may be the same as a GM saginaw box. Next time he's in Oz he can pick one up and bring it back to the US in his luggage. Then BAM... RHD power steering.

That name makes me think of "My Name is Earl."

"Hey, Swagman!"
"Hey, Earl!"
