here is some pictures of the more well known G60 or 60 series Nissan Patrol....these are both medium wheelbase trucks and both in almost original condition. They are LG60's in terms of model numbers. "L" being left hand drive, "G" being medium wheelbase and "60" being the series of Patrol.

A mid-1960s in Colombia, South America....very nice condition!

A 1978 or 1979 also in very nice condition....this is also a Colombian Patrol.

Here is a restored 1970s Nissan Patrol Ute. This truck is in New Zealand as was very well restored.

This Patrol Ute came from Nissan as a factory cab & chassis. Since it is a pickup truck or Ute it came with the one ton H260 rear diff. A monster of a diff! more pics at...

Just added a 3" leaf pack to the rear yesterday, but still waiting on my Radflos for the front. So I am sitting a little high in the back right now. non the less, the flex I am getting already is sweet. and a shot from camping last weekend.

Looking in that engine compartment almost brings tears to my eyes. So much space, everything's accessible, and it looks easy to work on (well, getting parts could be fun here in the States). Brings back fond memories of my old Suburban. I could, at 5'11", climb in the engine bay and work on the engine while sitting on the inner fenderwell.

Then I remember having to replace the heater core on it. I had no garage and it was -20* out. Nothing like -20* antifreeze dripping on your hands while you're trying to put that damn squirrel-cage fan back in.

I had the same thought about those uncluttered and sparse engine bays. Compare those against this, the engine bay of my TDI Navara:

An era long gone for all vehicles. These Patrols like many trucks from the same era were designed to be fixed in the middle of nowhere with no spares or limited spares and limited tools. 40yrs ago that meant you survived a trip if you could fix it with bailing wire and some tape!

PS, I have crawled in there and worked on these engines. Nothing like only 3 things to trouble shoot when your truck won't run! The diesel in my 83 Patrol is even less to trouble shoot since it has no spark. Makes field repairs super easy.

Makes me want a diesel that much more. I don't even want to maximize the power out of it. Ultra-super reliable is what I'm thinking. Of course, since I'm planning for the Zombie Apocalypse, YMMV.

Wow that first pic is super sweet! Really really nice....worthy of framing and putting on the wall. Worthy of a magazine or calander. Very nice! :victory:

many of Nissans diesel engines are extremely reliable. 500,000 miles without major repairs is common. Many have gone 1million miles without major work....it is all about the maintenance. The best is indirect injection. It is so simple and reliable, not much at all that can fail. The older it is the less electronic too. My SD33T only needs power to start it. After that it will run indefinately with zero power.

My manual may need some updating...
