Hello, I have just bought a 1982 Hilux Dual Cab LN65 for my first car and had a few questions.
1. What front seats are the easiest to bolt in as in could I grab some out of a commodore or is there something else that fits better?
2. What parts are compatible from a LN65 or a LN106 hilux into mine. Mainly looking into suspension and interior stuff.
3. Is there any good places/websites. to check out parts for this series hilux. Basically I need new vinyl and just bits and pieces. I also need a new tub but I'll just check out the wreckers or make a tray.
Search is your friend, theres a heap of Luxes in the buildup section, but im not sure if theres many gen1 Luxes in there.
As for seats, unless you are fitting Lux seats, you will need to modify seat mounts/seat rails, and I think it needs to be engineered.
Some parts are easily fitted from LN106 to LN65, but Im not sure about earlier.
Some good sites and places to check are....
The Hilux bible on here(top of Yota tech page)
Most online 4x4 forums will have tech sections
Superior Engineering
Buds Customs
Locktup4x4
Ebay and Trading post
