Ive seen one of these (well a HJ45) that the owner had ripped out the 2H diesel and dropped in the 162hp 1HD-T 4.2L turbo diesel into.

It loving FLEW. Although my neighbour owned a FJ47 with a chev 454 in it a few years back now before terminal rust and torque combined in fun and unusual ways.

follow the gearbox wiring back, the one on the gearbox itself will be your reverse switch, the one on the transfer case will be your 4wd indicator lamp.

I think they are normally open closed to trigger too from memory when I did my hilux build.

This is an obscenely cool truck and you are awesome for restoring it like this.

That said, $249 seems like a screaming deal for an NOS gauge cluster, as long as the quality is there. I honestly think you'd struggle to find individual gauges and build your own for anything close to that.

It is a screaming deal- That wouldn't even cover the cost of my oil pressure/temp gauge SUB ASSEMBLY on my cluster for the 100 series!

If your that worried about chassis corrosion, strip it down to a bare chassis, get it bead blasted to find the dodgy bits, fix them up, then send it off to be acid dipped and hot dip galvanised.

Theres hundreds of those 40 series kicking around australia 50 years after being manufactured on the factory chassis, so its probably a moot point. Tho we dont tend to salt the earth with impunity like you wierdos do...
