NSRz32 Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 I've been looking to pick up a 60's swb Patrol and was curious on how hard it is to find basic repair parts, engine components, transparts, etc. Also, I'm pretty sure they all had the P40 in them, how hard are spare motors to find? Anyone know of a good place as there really doesn't seem to be many left that aren't trail trucks. Thanks :) Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 Patrols turn up for sale but kinda hard for parts. Try the Patrol club Austraila seems like the best place to get parts. get the later ones as the earlier ones use a Generator instead of a Alt. Quote Link to comment
yoursurfer Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 parts, espically brake and ingnition stuff are very hard to find Quote Link to comment
NSRz32 Posted February 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 How about a block? The one I'm looking at threw a rod and would need an engine block. The rest of the truck is top notch. Quote Link to comment
0.C. Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 I might have a few body parts, the engine was frozen so I trew it away (regret doing so). What year is the Patrol? Quote Link to comment

The one I'm looking at is a 69. If I end up picking it up I'll definitely let you know :) Quote Link to comment
Jester Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 I'm sure we could figure out how to put a KA in there.:D Jester Quote Link to comment

]2eDeYe Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 I'd swap in a VG from a pathfinder and the tranny and t-case to go with it :D Quote Link to comment
irsa76 Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 You need real torque in these. SBC are popular here. Or to keep it simple and Nissan drop a TB45 in. Quote Link to comment
