bj75 "bundera" in aust. looks like a swb troopy.

in canadia adn some other north america countries they got the 3b (na version) in the 60 series (bj60). not sure about the turbo one.

the 3b was also used in hino/toyota dyna trucks and some coaster buses. (not necesarrily oz though) it was also used to power the refridgerator in some hino trucks

and yes they are a damn fine motor. even the na 3b takes a beating

Err... wrong, 13-BT was commonly found in the BJ-73/74 models which are infact MWB cruisers, that is same drivetrain as the 75 series and 4# series of the time in a shorter body.

Bunderas using slinkies and hilux drivetrain.

Yes, a fine example of toyota engineering with direct mechnical injection, piston skirt cooling, good for 500,000+ with standard 5k servicing and good quality service ingredients.

That's right .. the Middies had them (not sure about anything else) were they also in some of the smaller Tojo trucks as well or was that just the 14BT and 15BT? I think you can get them from the jap motor importers.

Yep midis had them, toyota dyna trucks had them (although the 14b was more common) and also toyota coaster buses had them.
