New to me old lux

Post by Guy »

I just purchased a 1980 lux on saturday ... needs a bit of a tidyup but is basically OK .. has a reco 18r in it, also got as few $$ off as I tild him the rear diff was farked (UNI's out of phase on the rear d/shaft).

The seats are showing the fact they are 24 years old, So I would like to swap in someting a bit newer .. as I am over 6 foot and it's a single cab space is a bit of an issue .. what seats would your guys recomend??

Also need a few bits and pieces for a RWC .. if anyone can help me out I would appreciate it ...
see thread in wanted section ..

sounds like you got a good score.

im 6ft 8" and i used to have a single cab lux, i put a std bench seat in, and got it re trimmed and re padded (better over bonet vis) for a total of about 170 bucks (including the seat!) but failing that try a set of laser seats as mate of mine fitted them in his 45 and they were pretty comfy.
my 80 is gone :(

Should be RN46 and will have 4.88 gears unless someone has swapped gear sets. All first generation 4wd hilux's had 4.88s from factory. Same for both petrol and deisel.
