Does any one in the Brisbane and surrounds have a TB42 (carb or efi prefer the latter) laying around they wish to dispose of?

There was someone down here in Mexico who had one, who was that???

I know there is freight but I'm sure we can help with that old mate.

I can't remember who but there was someone here a while ago who had a good tb42 sitting around, anyone???

Have picked up a motor and gearbox for $500. Head looks reasonably new head. For the first time since owning the truck I will have a working fifth gear. Now I just have to fit it.

You don't have central locking by any chance Dhuck ? My GQ has it and occasionally it will do that to me but I've learned how to fix it with the fob .

No mate. When I got the old girl, anything fancy was taken out. Even floor covering.

First thing I did.

When it did not have starting power I looked at the few things that have stopped me in the past and all was good. Then there were to many beers under the belt. As stated in an earlier post, I will start at the ignition and make sure there is power coming out and check fuses and fusible links before there are to many beers under the belt. Still have to work out the new engine install. Anybody feel like doing it for me? lol

The wiring for the ignition had been modified and can't remember what it was. Got that sorted. Then fuel pump wasn't working. That came down to the connector on top of the fuel tank. Got that working.
