Sweet build, love the 60’s Chevy trucks. Cool idea to put in a Landrover motor. Another channel I watch swapped an RX-7 motor into a 46 Jeep. Love oddball builds!!

Apostle Birds is a bit of a mouthful, so I've taken to referring to them by one of the many common names they have. Out of all of them I think Happy Jacks suits them best!

What was "broken"? That 305 V-6 long fucking predates any Toyota engine and in fact they are "industrial" engines. Both the V6s and V12s - a V12 block with 4 V6 heads and two V6 ignition systems - are still running strong in "vintage" GMC trucks as well as on irrigation wells and the like on gasoline and propane. His "fixes" are nothing but hamhanded shadetree wannabe mechanic butchery and that pile of shit won't get out of its own way after being "fixed" with that Toyota boat anchor "turbodiesel". Many Japanese diesels have excellent reputations in the U.S. both as "industrial' and "commercial" engines in vehicles, tractors, skid steers etc and as power units. Yanmar, Isuzu, Hino, Kubota... Toyota is not on the list and there are excellent reasons why alone of all other imported Japanese "mini truck" manufacturers Toyota never even TRIED to sell diesel "versions" of its "trucks". Which is why its hilarious how much Aussies tell "Yanks" how fucking awesome and indestructible and "reliable" Toyota diesels are in the "outback". Which by and large is flat as piss on a plate, bone dry 99% of the time, doesn't have any approaching a highway OR a REAL "trail" and never gets colder than "room temperature". ALL of "America" gets "freezing cold" at least occasionally as well as every bit as hot and WAY more humid than any city folk coast-dwelling Aussies ever experience outside the "outback" and MOST of "America" experiences 70-80 degree F temp "swings" from winter lows to summer highs and all of "America" considered "flyover states" gets temp swings in excess of 100 degrees. Here in northeast KS this summer we had several days with a high of 110 F and several days this winter with -23 F lows. That GMC was made in America to SURVIVE America. All of it. Japan isn"t America and Australia damn sure isn't and you wannabe truck "builder" clowns don't have a fucking clue what real "reliability" and DURABILITY are. If you did you'd build your own trucks brand new in mass production instead of having to import every truck "down under" larger than a "ute".
