pretty sure they can come in coil suspension too but why look for an alternative to a toyo?

Thanks guys,

Covering all avenues if insurance $ on my stolen 62 won't stretch to a Toyo :(
Eric, where have you advertised your unit? Link?

The coil cab GQ ute is a very comfortable (as far as ride goes) and capable vehicle when fitted with the right coils for the load you normally carry. Alternatively you can fit softer coils for running unloaded together with poly airs or similar air bags in the coils for carrying loads. Main drawback is the inability to recline the seats very much, later models had a bit more cab room due to a larger bubble below the rear window. 75 Series Toyota is no better however. Toyota 78 and GU ute had a few more inches behind the seats, but lots more $$$.......

The GQ (coil) utes tend to fetch a premium price over the GQ wagons of the same vintage, oftern several $k more. Most are still in the $15-$20k range. I agree, you will get earlier 75 series (especially with 2H diesel) cheaper than the equivalent vintage GQ coil cab. The GQ/GU coil cabs are unique in being the only all coil sprung heavy duty utes on the market and are consequently in demand on the second hand market. Once you've owned a coil sprung vehicle, its very hard to go back to leafs.

I've still got my 1989 GQ trayback ute - all leaf springs (which incidentally are plated to carry a lot more weight than the coil version).

It''s been the roughest, toughest, ball tearing, bottler SOB of a ute that I ever owned.

The Toyo guys are a bit biased, I have a 99 Y60, I dont know where this "GQ"
business comes from, as there is no mention in the VIN No, Any way, A coil Cab is the only wat to go. I agree with the sender who said that you wont go back to a Leaf sprung tank after riding in a coil sprung vehicle, especially on corrugations.
see ya on the road, or in the Bush

I was looking at a N coil front/leaf rear. My expected static load is 500kg [not including fuel] not sure if coil rear could handle that much static load without beefing up the suspension?
