General Description

1962 Nissan L60 Patrol �?One of only 975 Canvas top Patrols to come to the <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">US</st1:place></st1:country-region>.  This is the oldest one known to still exist (according the registry at NissanPatrolClubAlbuquerque/usapatrolregistry).  It might even be the very first to come to the <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">US</st1:place></st1:country-region>.

She is not perfect, and she has the wear & tear that you’d expect from an unrestored 46 year old truck.  She runs well and I would not hesitate to drive her most anywhere.  Although the top speed is about 55 MPH.

The top is brand new and has been on the truck less than 2 months.  It is made of Modern Hartz Stayfast canvas from an original pattern.  The frame work is all original.  A couple of pieces had to be straightened and it was all freshly powder coated.  The total cost of the top was over $2,000.

The suspension is approx 2 years old (less than 200 miles) and is a 2 ½ inch lift from Dobinsons in <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Australia</st1:place></st1:country-region>.  (parts cost was about $1200)  The tires are Big O M/T 31x10.50R15LT, mounted on Rock Crawler Rims.

This is truly a unique truck, and a good candidate for restoration or just heading out to the trails.
