p.s. Can anyone tell me what i am doing wrong with the "quote" to cause it to not show correctly? Bit green at this. It looks like you may have the "Disable BBCode in this post" box checked. There is nothing wrong with your post itself. I'm glad the link to Geoff Dellow helped, I have used a few of ...

At least make it a 6.6 duramax if your going to taint an f100 with GM shit. Otherwise, go a cummins ;) Yeh I would love to go Duramax or Cummins but they are both much more expensive options.

Chev V8 Diesel into F100???

I have a '79 model F100 4x4 and would like to fit a Chev V8 diesel engine. To keep the conversion as simple as possible I think I will keep the original 4 speed manual gearbox. I have done engine conversions in other vehicles before using kits from Mark's Adaptors etc. I have spent some time ...

[quote="grimbo"]don't get the crappy hard tonneau cover. It lets in so much dust it's not funny. Also forget the stupid "roll bar" as it takes up a lot of space. Try and get a canopy if you can though.[/quote] Thanks Grimbo. Actually I think I might keep it simple this time round and go for a ...

Thanks Guys.

A couple of things I have learnt about the Triton with optional rear diff lock, more rear passenger legroom, and coil front suspension are all features that would suit my needs so I think the decision has been made in favour of the Triton.

Thanks for taking the time to reply.

Triton, Colorado or BT50???

I get a vehicle supplied as part of my employment package but I am limited to picking from 3 manufacturers. They are Mitsubishi, Holden, or Mazda. I have told my employer that I would like a Turbo Diesel Dual Cab Ute and so I must choose between a Triton, Colorado or a BT50. At this stage I am ...

My brothers 80 series 1HZ traded at 680,000km untouched. My 80 series 1HZ shat completely at 300,000km.
I drove mine gently compared to my brother and was more meticulous with maintenance.
You can't pick it sometimes.
