Hey everyone,
My name is Tynan and I'm from Melbourne, Australia.
I currently have an '82 B1800 and an '83 B2000 that I'm making into one good truck, I purchased the trucks together from my new neighbour roughly 9 months ago for the full price of.....$50.
Turns out one of them has an awesome reconditioned motor (the 1.8L) and the other one has a decent body.
Not sure on the end plan for the truck as yet, at the moment it's just fix the rust, replace all the worn suspension components and make sure it's all roadworthy so I can get it registered and then I want to do a nice low static drop!

Im hoping to find a few more guys on here rocking the same series B as I am.

Can't wait to get to know you all

B1800 a few months back playing around with some wheel ideas

Yeah they're pretty beat up, but amazingly run so fantastic. Hopefully next month the B2000 cab will be repaired and in primer ready to drop on the B1800s rails

That's a great base man, I love the pre 85 shape. What engine is the 1.8? I may have a couple of parts you might be keen on lol.
Its going to look awesome cleaned up and dropped. Good luck.

Yeah I love the shape as well, I fell in love with it a few years back when I first seen one parked in a used car lot in a town called Moe, It was a diesel and was painted orange on chrome hilux steelies with a chrome bar. My Dad wouldnt let me buy it so ever since I've tried to find my own.
Yeah I'd definitely be keen on some parts as I'm trying to get one ready for roadworthy!
I'm not sure how rare they are either, but I'm absolutely dieing to find the twin headlight front for it!
