G60 patrols

Bet thats not what he wanted to hear ?? LOL................

I have never even seen one (had to Google them just to make sure...) - seen heaps of early 'Cruisers though...

Rugged & tuff "back in the day" late 60s early 70s they were a good truck, fast & powerful , my ist job we would tow a tandem trailer with up to ton of weight at 80 mph on hwy in Vic. , back then what else was around landrover ( no power house) jeeps early landcruisers were under powered & crap transmison
sure they had problems & so did most things re rust have you forgotten how quick holdens & others rusted out back then ???

Regards nick

I agree Nick, they would do 80mph, but that was flat out. They either had 5.1 or 4.875 diffs, not sure which now, so would have been screaming. but still about 15mph faster then our farm 1 1 a landy The cruisers ran 3.7 in the early days or 4.1 with the higher reving 2F so gave a better cruising speed. Mind you up untill I put extractors on my 2F it was reluctant to cruise at 100ks.
Good thread actually, brings back long forgotten memories. Had a mate who cracked the block on his 4l , worked out it was cheaper to replace the motor with an Alloy head xd motor, which also gave about 4mpg better economy and better cruising speed.

I agree totally....also why bother with a Y60 when you could have had an Austin Gypsy years sooner.
