Arkana troop carrier

[roscoFJ73]

Hi ,I thought some of may want to see some pics of a converted Toyota HJ75.
The rear body was built in Western Australia by Arkana for use as tour buses or outback ambulances for the mining companies and emergency services.
From memory the conversion cost almost as much as the cab chassis 75 series but they were stong and often out last the toyota body.

They make great camping and travelling buses. This one had the old 2H 6 cyl which is slower than the 2nd coming.
Its got a blown engine and going for about $5000AUD in Oz
I got too many vehicles and Im glad its on the other side of Oz otherwise I might starting making room

Nice machine.
If it was on this side of the ocean, it would be worth buying and throwing a nice 4cyl. Cummins under the hood.

This model accepts the legendary 12HT 6 cyl turbo diesel with very little mods.
So much quieter on those long runs

I nearly bought a 1990 with the 1HZ engine for 9 grand once but I suspected the cab was badly rusted and painted over
