Ahh opps, yea I meant Landcruisers. Sorry bout the stuffup.

I used to have a piece of paper with all the different series numbers and what the differences were. But basically its:

FJ or FZJ in the first part, the F is for the F series of engines which were and still are all petrol. Likewise any HJ HZJ, HDJ etc is basically for diesel engine models.

40,42,45,47 series - early 1970 - 1980's ranged from SWB utes to troopies

50, 55 series - 1970's - wagaon type body shape (leaf sprung)

60, 62 series - replaced the 55 series, not sure of year range but same as 55 but with more modern look. Leaf sprung.

70, 73, 75 series - replaced the 40 series models just more modern look and engines. Leaf sprung.

78, 79series - Late 1990's to date. LWB ute and troopy with coil front end

80 series - late 180's to late 1990's, wagon again modernised with coil springs.

100, 105 series - late 1990's to date. most modern version of wagon. Coil / IFS sprung depending on model.

Someone will probably pick some minor errors but it gives you the basics. Look on the net and you'll find heaps. Good luck.
