Well, I myself have no idea who you are..... But there is definately a need for parts in the USA. My research over the years led me to believe the amount of parts in Aus. is getting really limited. In fact I have been told stories by Aussie guys that Nissan destroyed huge stock piles of parts in the last 10 years. Even things like brand new soft tops were destroyed. I am sure there are still some parts floating around Australia including some aftermarket parts. Used parts should be not to hard to find if you know where to look over there. They got tons of old Patrols so logic tells us parts trucks should be available. I am also sure there is still some parts to be found in Canada. But like the USA those stock piles of parts will be very limited. Meaning it is just left over parts from 40 years ago. We had a stock pile of left over parts in the USA but it is mostly dried up now. I started a home based parts business for Patrols a few years back. My parts though come from S.America. You will find there is definately a demand for parts, a limited demand but a demand none the less. The thing is some items from the late 70's don't work on our USA trucks. And there are other things that have to be considered when supplying people parts... Regardless, I wish you the best of luck. The USA Patrol community really does need a good source for parts. It would be a real bummer to everybody who enjoys Patrol if our trucks slowly begin to fade away due to not being able to repair these trucks. I am interested to see what you can supply....so like I said best of luck to you and I hope it all works out.

hi there this is great information my source in australia is a fellow patroler so when i ask him for parts he generally gets it right and we verify with pics most parts are out of a bone yard close to his home sourceing new parts can be tricky ,but can be done i do need a little more personal knowledge, and i hope to get that through you guys .butt im on a mission ,to get my 66 on the road. he is shipping various parts to me very soon mostly cosmetic and some mechanical so i will be the first guinee pig before i start actually selling the parts and will sell only parts i know will work on mine i will keep you guys posted

I can get brand spanking new body parts....take a look here, http://rockymountianpatrol.netfirms.com ... .php?t=192 But it is like I mentioned before some things don't work and or fit correctly. Most does but the floor pans for example are not a perfect match to USA Patrols so must be cut a bit to fit correctly. Other things need to be considered such as fenders are not drilled for bolt hols/hardware. And the tubs also lack the center rear pillar we have on our for support/strength. I have supplied a few guys with rear fender skins and they seemed to work out for them. The thing is it costs me a lot to ship this stuff to the USA by air, sometimes parts get damaged in transit to me and they have gotten damaged in transit from me to the buyer. Shipping via UPS is very expensive also. You might be able to convince me to get a load of body parts though but at this point it needs to be an order big enough to be crated and shipped by sea. Additionally I can't front the money for them and then get paid when the parts show up, just don't have the cash to do that at this time.
