GO79, my mistake, but the point I'm trying to make is why would you put a 75 series ute cab on a 79 series ute chassis? It would be like taking the V8 diesel out of one of the new LC's to put in the old 4.2 naturally aspirated engine...

Run a 78 turbo now which is excellent vehicle. Toyota will iron out the problems, which I have heard is the odd turbo ...
