oils
If you are asking about oils for an early model Patrol, I would suggest 80-90w gear oil for the transmission, transfer-case, axle differentials and steering box. Synthetic oil is better, but costs a lot more. You might consider an oil additive. I've had really good luck with a product called "P...

Skid Plate Wanted

patrol sighting on TV
I have a 1965 L60 that I was given for free in Haiti in 1993. I've since taken it to and driven it in eight other countries. The longest trip it's made so far in the U.S. has been from California to Mississippi and return. Like the C47 airplane, Patrols may crash but will never wear out! ...As long ...

head gasket
If you use the Copper Coat, be sure to shake the can well so the copper stays in suspension and spreads evenly. Use it on both sides of the gasket. Don't be afraid to use a lot, and it's harmless if a little drips down in the cylinders. Torque the head bolts evenly, then check the torque again after...

head gasket
I've been using Copper Coat gasket sealer on all kinds of head gaskets for over twenty years, including on some very old engines, and none have blown yet. You might try that. Also make sure your engine isn't overheating.

Front Brake Hoses -'65 L60?
Jon,Thank you. I replaced my rear axle hose about five years ago with an off-the-shelf NAPA hose. I wish I could remember the number as the front and rear hoses seem to be about the same length. I was hoping someone could give me NAPA or other part numbers for the front axle and front wheel hoses.Bu...
