major difference is that the 79 has a 3 link panhard front sprung under rear.

they don't have 79 on this page

go to the image gallery on that site and you'll find that all the utes are called 79's and if you click the features link it talks about a 78 and it being a troop carrier
They don't call it a troop carrier for no reason. The LC78 Troopy is built to carry brawn. Choose from the 3 seater, the 5 seater, or throw yourself and 10 others into the 11 seater
A tough choice...
With four cab chassis and five troopies to choose from, the only thing tougher than the 78 Series LandCruiser is deciding which one to buy! Choose from a range of LC79 Cab Chassis, as well as a selection of LC78 Troop Carriers. Take a look at the range to see which one best suits your needs
