Hi.
Does anyone know if LN65 (i.e. 1984-1989 odd) Surfs ever had beam axle front end or are they all independent c.v spitters? I have def seen a couple around but my mate reckons they might all be conversions?
Thinking this might be my next truck if I can find a goodie. Lift the frig out of it and have some fun!
Cheers.
Matt.
(Actually unsure if the Surf was called LN65 as the Lux was, but you get what I'm driving at??)

hi mate i see you are new to ORE so welcome..... your mate is wrong they came out of the factory with a beam axle in 1984,1985, and early 1986. hope this helps ya

I love being right... Thanks mate.
PS: I have 1990 mitsi L300 4x4 2.0 petrol for sale if anyone interested? Telecom van for 12 yrs, so well serviced at our expense. 4th owner? 230kms and my mechanic says great motor! (Usually they blow up right after someone says that??) No rust at all......

Have a read from about half way down the page.
Supralux spells out the different models years etc

Yup, almost forgotten I'd written that...

Long and short is that the LN and YN60 was a beam axle Surf released 84 and 85 (and sold thru till early 86) - identical running gear to the 65-series hilux - SWB chassis.
