If you put the chassis number in here...
http://www.toyodiy.com/parts/q?vin=HJ47-010202" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Provides this information...

Market (multiple)
Year 06/1981
Make TOYOTA
Model LAND CRUISER
Frame HJ47


Says it is RHD (Right Hand Drive)


If gives 4 possible models. Narrows it down to 2 possible models if you select Australia, which are a Van or a Pickup.


Gives these additional codes...

ENGINE: 2H: 4000CC DIESEL
GEAR SHIFT TYPE: 4F: MTM, 4-SPEED FLOOR SHIFT
ROLL BAR: WORB: WITHOUT ROLL BAR


In HJ47, H tells you what the engine family is, J means Jeep-like truck, 4 is the 40 series, and I think that 7 is the chassis type/length.
