Well here's my sage advice :
a) Needs a set of standard halogen Fyrlyt spotlights.
b) I'd change the wheels to splitties and put on a set of Bridgestone G530 radials.
c) I'd change the snorkel head for a pre-filter.
d) Fit a sun visor - available from Mr Landcruiser.
Other than that it's close to perfect. 8/10.

Some strong good points there yet again my friend, Regards Paul

I remember in 1980, seeing those flash rubber dashboards in the Utes, and thinking, "nice touch, but I hope this isn't the start of Landcruisers going all plastic in the interiors...".

[@Functionalshitbox]

Legitimate concern. And you called it😢

[@bhean7747]

75 series indicators don't look to bad on a 40

[@jeremywatson1899]

Nephew did one ten years ago, still got it ❤

[@jeffimpey5468]

What a cool truck. How about some "before" footage on big resto's like this? It's great to see how good the finished product is, but to see what you started with would be a real story. Great work. 👍

[@mrsound-gard7556]

The sound of the 12ht rolling in at the start was enough for a thumbs up 👍, can’t beat it

[@xaviermann6803]

Love the old girl, Love my hj61 but one day I’ll have to swap all the gear over into a 47. Such an iconic Ute with so much class👌

[@thebudgetadventurer1879]

Looks great. I wish I had a 12ht and 5 speed. But I do have a tacho and disc brake front. Love it

[@TheMitchellbegeng]

Looking forward to seeing the old girl around town

[@IanBuckley-v8l]

I have an original 12/81 that has the tacho etc but did not come with disc brakes.

[@MrLandcruiser]

Wow with Tacho, I'm learning new stuff all the time. I thought 82

[@johndiaz7240]

Love your work, and your “short shorts “ 😊

[@MrLandcruiser]

Thank you! 😊, I have shorter shorts

[@johndiaz7240]

@@MrLandcruiser I’m just jealous, wish I had your great legs 😄

[@davorocket2825]

Ol Bettsy is a bit of a ol Beasty now packin that 12HT, 5 speed and twin locked to boot! I'd be chuckin a winch on that old girl to pull the datsuns out of the way and wheelin its arse off! Nice one John worth the wait.

[@randalla8684]

Paul,do you guys do international shipping on the side rails?

[@MrLandcruiser]

Our quotes are so expensive on freight abroad mate. We could give you the dimensions to look into freight your end.

[@benwinter2420]

They 47 looks all wrong unless standard grey & with luggers & standard steel tray . . don't mess with the Japanese army standard

[@MrLandcruiser]

Geez you'd hate the ones with an 80 Series chassis and a V8, but it is very cool we are all different

[@lc-yi6tj]

How much did this cost to do all the work?

[@MrLandcruiser]

A lot lol, but the is client info not TH-cam info sorry. We can privately quote on all these items.
