    Talk me off the ledge....or over it :)

    Keep in mind the early 60-series has at least a few items that are different from later 60-series. Some interior bits and the steering box being the first that comes to mind. This may make it harder to find parts for than say a mid-80s 60-series.

    1964 Nissan Patrol soft top restoration

    Here are a few pictures of the Alcan leaf springs, these have a 2" lift in them. The old spring in the picture is the stock rear leaf pack out of the 1977 Patrol Ute. Both the Ute's old rear spring and the new Alcan are 48.5" eye to eye. I have not had a chance to compare to the stock...

    The Mongrel: FJ62 body + FZJ80 chassis + turbo diesel + ???

    Thank you! Second part; Not very hard. If you can't use a tape measure, a level, an angle finder, a mig welder, a sawzall, grinder with cutoff disc or plasma cutter then pretty hard. The 80-series wheel base is about 112", the 60-series is 107". There is a dude or two on Mud who did it with...

    2nd coat of Rust Bullet on the LRA tank.... Crappy cell phone picture but you get the idea! I applied it 1st coat with a brush, 2nd with a roller. I like it better with a roller. I am happy with the results. The tank looks like new again. Will be trying it with a spray gun next time...

    I like the concept. I realize versions of this have been available in Europe for some time but kuddos for doing this in the USA! I would like to see something done for the 60-series. I would need a product like this to be weather tight no matter what, like others have said. I would also need it...
