Hood needs a little work Hard to see but there is a dent in the roof to fix. The windshield glass is original which you don't see very much if at all on these old Nissan 4wds. All glass in the truck is original and in top condition. Very hard to come by these original bottle jacks...

rare to see this sticker still in place Also a very rare sticker to see As you can see everything is in really good condition. vintage Only rust on this truck is what is starting to show in the roof rail. I plan to kill that fast. The other body pieces are also in stellar...

So I cleaned out the 68 this afternoon. Went through all the stuff it came with. Huge load of parts! Some stash NOS items and some very rare and super hard to find items. It also came with a spare set of axles, front springs, spare hood, spare trans & t-case, spare bellhousing, spare drivelines...

I think I will start a new thread on this truck, kind of been cluttering up my other Patrol thread with things not really related to that build. So a few weeks ago I came across this 68 Patrol on Craigslist. It had just been listed that day so was a fresh listing when I saw it. I noticed in...

I am all for it! Never have had anyone contact me from the Middle East though. I would be happy to restore a Patrol for anyone! Cheers

Driving to Oakland tonight to pick this up. I got a cousin in Oakland too so will spend the night with him on Saturday. The Patrol looks to good to pass up, no rust! Yes it is true, I have a passion for these trucks or is it an addiction. Cheers

That is just fanboys being fanboys. Go look at the 60 or 80-sections on Mud. All kinds of problems reported daily! Some more common than others. Same goes for pickups. I believe Nissan Patrols to be of superior build quality over Cruisers but since we didn't get those here, a Cruiser is the next...

Yup the 60 had a sweet v8 but the Taco had close to 100hp over stock. So they were very comparable in terms of power. Really the only thing that could have been done to my Taco was SaS it and some belly armor. Other than that it was built to the hilt. Built to the hilt as far as overlanding...

I can't say I agree with many of the arguments. A few points here or there I do agree with but not most. I went from a decked out to the hilt Taco to a pretty sweet 60. The 60 was better for me overall. Go a lot farther than the Taco too but the 60 did have 2x ARB's, 35's, 4" of nice lift, ect...

Making progress.... How you like my 3-link!? ;) Cheers

wrong Patrol. That slip is from a 66 hard top that came with the 66 soft top. That truck has 42,000 original miles. The speedo works on the soft top, I rolled it over 1/2 mile, I see no reason why it would have failed all these years. The speedo is all mechanical. From what I have seen, most...

Thanks, ya that is the one. I am really just putting it all together using stuff from a built up 83 160-series Patrol I had. With all these parts just laying around I might as well just do something with them and the Ute will be a good fit. On top of that I gave away the Ute's stock engine...

Thanks. It is indeed 15,500 original miles. Very obvious by some many items on this truck being original, down to the friggin' fan belt! Even the sticker on the front diff is present. The original Toyo spare is even here but the other four I am sure rotted out a long time ago. The problem is...

I got something kind of similar in the works. 77 Pick up Patrol, cab & chassis. 160-series Patrol axles from the 1980's, ie C200 front and H233 rear. Both fully rebuilt, ARB locked, 4.6 geared. Rear has disc brake conversion. Front is using H233 CVs from a GQ/Y60 that are strengthens by tig...

So I posted earlier in the thread about a WLG60 Patrol or wagon from Alaska. That Patrol is a holy grail. Just came across this one this morning, in Japan. It is more than a holy grail, it is like meeting God himself if you are into Patrols. Not only is this a wagon (extremely rare) it is a...

Unfortunately the rings are shot on the 66 soft top. I just tested compression and all cylinders are way low. :( No real surprise though as it blows lots of blue smoke and oil stinks of gas. My guess is it sat a long time and the rings got a bit rusted up. As far as me doing a Jackson Patrol...

By the way, how cool is this!? Exactly 42yrs ago today this 1966 Patrol was getting an oil change. The same day 42yrs later it arrives at my truck farm. Cheers

Pressure washed the 66 soft top today. Been a long *** time since it got a bath. Ran some seafoam through the fuel tank and oil. It needs all new fluids and some leaks fixed. It sounds pretty good really but may have bad rings, it blows a lot of blue smoke. It obviously sat for a lot of years...

Just did a 23hr. road trip to Glenwood Springs, CO and back for this..... Ya that is original mileage on this Patrol! It has always been in Glenwood Springs, until now! https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=4259004331285&l=2791279289467627955 It also came with the 66 hard top you see in...
