The last 20 pages of this has been greatly appreciated and informative to a newbie and mechanically challenged me. Drinking the Koolaide a bit now and if anyone knows of a cruiser that would meet the expectations of this thread and knowledgeable contributors, please advise. I am in DFW area and look at both Craigslist and Ebay everyday but haven't seen much value. Understand you get what you pay for, I just don't want to buy complete "dog" as I cannot work on it. Thank you all for this thread and any help you can give me.

Same here. After a year or so of searching, I realized I am not that man for this type of work. Ended up getting an older GX 470. Its a "Landcruiser", right?
Glad i'm not the only one here that don't know much.
What is your budget? You could have this shipped to you. This one has been sitting on the local big boys toy store's show floor for nearly a year now. I'd take out the lift personally as looking at the pix I don't get how 8 bolts are doing most of the work.TAMU77CLAY said:

That is a nice looking cruiser. Looks like price is in the upper end and either it's a bit high or the market is soft if has been for sale over a year.longeryak said:What is your budget?

It might sell if it was priced $10,000 less. Ad lists it as a '78 but no fuel door says something is up. Aftermarket tub or the tub is from early 70's. Fold down tailgate is not original. Looks like Aqualu tailgate so maybe 3/4 aluminum tub. Diamond plate running boards are aftermarket. The bezel is upside down. Clean looking paint outside with obvious rust coming through rhino lined interior. Aftermarket seats. No hardtop or doors. At that price i'd expect them to be available. The kick vent gasket is glued to the side skirt rather than the kick vent. WTF.TAMU77CLAY said:That is a nice looking cruiser.

For a correct truck the market is still pretty strong. If a truck is junk then it will only command a junk price.

I always heard the GX (460 and 470) was the Landcruiser Prado and the LX (470 and 570) was the American Landcruiser. Is this correct?

Just got my wife the 2001 LX470 and she loves it. Also for any parts just order the land cruiser equivalent as it is the same truck. Runs great and these things are bulletproof for 500k
