Believe the thing went to china shortly after it was posted up. Serial number was 2 away from mine ... (sorry) ... yours

Such a shame!!

I heard of another G61 in Aus. the other day on facebook. If I recall right it is near Melbourne.

Cheers

A red MWB, sold on Ebay about 12-24 months ago

Disclaimer: yes...I know I have a problem. And my very understanding wife knows it too. We deal with it day by day

Always wanted a G60 ute with a flat tray...love the look, and great for carting dirtbikes around. Hopefully by the time my son is old enough to ride one it will be done !

An ad came up a couple of days ago for a bunch of G60 parts, including a ute cab. We worked out a swap, and here it is in my driveway...













It's posted here because family life has brought about changes in plans ( can't fit a child seat in a G60/61 ! ). So now the 4Runner is the family camper and my project is a G61 chassis with a ute cab, flat tray, MQ disk-brake front end, power steering, P40 or L28, 5-speed, 4.6:1 diff gears, 31" tires ( for now ), a bit of lift and a bit of barwork.

Cheers,

Excellent find Johnny! It looks in good shape with no rust spots. It will be very interesting to follow your build.

After your disclaimer, no further comments about your condition...

That will be a great project!
