If anyone has information on these older FG's.....

I need the front and rear axle width and bolt pattern measurements if anyone can help... Should have tried to get that info before it was packed on the Japan end.. searching the intronet, but model information seems to be limited to 93+ models...

Very nice. :clapsmile Did you find it yourself or have a local importer find it for you?

how...

Thanks guys... As soon as its here I'll keep the updates coming.. maybe my own build up thread...
I had been looking for about a year, watching auctions and lost a few that came up..In the end, tired of playing the waiting game and found this one through a supplier in Japan..

first impressions... I need air ride seats, lots of sound dampening mat in the floor and doors, but I like it.....

USA 6x6 is no longer....

So after a couple months of waiting, and a few excuses via email.. I received this in my inbox today:
---------------------------------------
DUE TO HARDSHIP AND CIRCUMSTANCES BEYOND THEIR CONTROL, USA6X6 IS CLOSING BUSINESS EFFECTIVE
IMMEDIATELY JUNE 1st. WE MUST ALSO INFORM YOU THAT THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO COMPLETE ANY CURRENT
ORDERS AND
ARE SORRY FOR THE DISTRESS THIS CAUSES.
-----------------------------------------

Tried calling to see about a refund... phones are done too.

I guess I have to find a new supplier for my srw... or go back to the duallys.
Anyone know of another wheel maker in Canada of the US?

Not happy, as I had paid for my setup on my credit card in March... Hopefully Mastercard can sort it out and get my $$ back!

Try this guy in Portland. He's done a few Fuso FG SRW conversions.
