I was told about this G60 late last year when my mates spotted it in a paddock,they went in and spoke to the owner, got me some contact details, and i followed it up.
Having not seen it before, bar a few pictures my mates sent me, i couldnt really determine its true condition, it had visible rust in the windscreen and guards, but only saw photos of the outside, so i figured its probabably rotten inside as well.
A couple of weekends ago, Myself and Neil headed out with a trailer to tow the old ute back to my place. Took a bit to get it onto the trailer, but we got it on.
The Owner before me got the G60 after he done some work at the local Golf Club, and was offered it about 5 years ago, there was more golf tee's inside the cab than the golf club.
I have a strong feeling that originally this G60 was a Bush Fire, Forestry, NPWS or mining truck, as there is a unusual sticker on the seat box.
Ever Since he had it it was a paddock basher. My mates told me it apparently had a starter motor problem, but turns out that the owner took the earth bolt out as the kids were using it to ski behind in the swamp.
Anyway enough talking, now lets get started on the old girl.
The Engine is all original, looks fairly clean compared to some out there. The original Hitatchi VHA carburettor is still bolted to the manifold, it was slightly leaking around the base, but has since fixed that issue. Its seems to run and operate pretty well which is a bonus. I will get some Carby cleaner and give it a through clean.
Someone's fitted some sparkplug leads recently, the radiator still was full when i got it, wich was a good sign.
As like most other aussie g60's , there is a set of landcruiser split rims bolted onto each corner, there pretty warn out, but do have some tread left. The front diff hadnt been looked after, and realised the wheel bearings were never kept greased up, the Diff was noisy, and the wheel bearings collapsed. The original diff still had the factory drive flanges, which you dont see all that much any more.
There is another diff bolted into the front now, thanks to neil for the diff. A set of Warn Locking hubs are fitted, and work ok, No bearing slop or noise which is what i like to see. It had a snapped drivers spring when i got it, but i removed the springs and all from neils wreck, which killed 2 birds with one stone. The Front springs are sagged as like most other g60's.
When i picked it up the cab was full of cobweb's, Golf tee's, beer bottles and a few hand tools.
Someone had fitted some aftermartket seats, there comfortable, but sit a tad higher i think. Does anyone know what these seats are from, as there the same type as whats fitted into the 72.
The Passenger seat wouldnt allow access to the battery area as it was to high andhit the windscreen, so i repaced it with an original seat.
The padded dash, is cracking from the sun, but apart from that the inside isnt overy bad condition, with only mainly surface rust.
It still has the orignal nissan G60 seatbelts fitted, in pretty good condition,they look like they havent been used in a long time, and the original nissan key was still in the ignition.
There is a fairly good bullbar on the front, its welded to the chassis though. Its still got the original tow hook on the front aswell.
RYCO Oil Filters sticker on the window, its obviously had some servicing in its time.
[/urlThis is the unusual sticker on the seat box, i strongly think its was a Fire Truck, NPWS, forestry before it went to the golf course, as i figure a golf course maintenance ute wouldn't require a custom body.

That has got to be the most creative hood I have ever seen on any vehicle.
