Generator to alternator swap. Ford voltage regulator
Well the hot weather finally killed my generator. I found a Hitachi four wire generator at the wrecking yard and I bought a Ford 4-wire voltage regulator and it was a pretty simple install. To get the pulleys to line up I had to mount the alternator on the outside of the top bracket and I had to not...

Original air cleaner setup?
I was finally able to secure an original air cleaner and I can see the studs it goes on to on the intake manifold however with it I got this vacuum fed piece with a spring on it and I don't know where that goes or what it does? Also does anyone have a source for the gasket that goes between the air ...

Re: How often do you use your Patrol?
135 mile round trip daily. It's been awesome. The only real upgrades at the moment are a dual Reservoir master cylinder and pertronic ignition.

57-year-old gun range Workhorse.
I work on a gun range and I've been driving this Patrol daily for the last couple weeks. It's 135mile round trip and this thing has performed amazing. The temperatures have been between 100 and 110 this week and the old Patrol has not skipped a beat. I'm driving between 55 and 65 mph and averaging r...

4th of July Freedom!!!
Spent Independence Day representing with the 1967 Patrol. I've been driving this thing almost daily and loving it. I'm getting some vapor lock issues now that it's getting hot. I need to create a solution asap if anyone has any suggestions.

Bought my first Patrol a month ago....now I own 4

He had used the three he had for a restoration he did about 15 years ago but one of them is almost total...

25 years and it runs and drives!
So I got my first experience driving this 1967 Patrol I bought about a month ago. I've been working out of town so I didn't have a chance to mess with it much but I replaced the glass fuel filter with a plastic one and with that the fuel system pulled gas from the tank. I jump started it and it star...

Brakes, Master cylinder, wheel cylinder, and shoes. I need s
I recently scored a very clean 1967 Nissan Patrol North American spec. I got the motor running very well and the only thing keeping me from taking it for a drive is the lack of brakes. I am in need of a Master cylinder, wheel cylinder and a set of shoes all the way around. I could probably get by wi...

I've had several vintage 4x4s everything from International scouts, Series 3 Land Rover, Toyota Land cruiser, Dodge ramchargers, Chevy blazers, and quite a few two-wheel drive things in the middle. I came across a really straight ve...
