Gidday my name is Andrew I joined this site awhile ago just started posting. I own a 1981 40 series cruiser 3B replacement over old 2b 31" tyres(getting worn) all pretty much standard will modify slowly $$$ being the main issue top 3 main things on my list are:
1. snorkel fitted - any1 know who 2 c in chch/canterbury area for good service and price?
2. Suspension shocks and springs as old as the truck i think so sagged and ragged
3. would like to fit 33" down the line
So please introduce yourselves and i am open 2 any suggestions,advice and just a good old fashion yarn..
Cheers Andrew

40's are King but 70's are next in line to take over the throne! :king:
Don't let Wopass near that thing, seen what he has done to his! There's only three original untouched parts left on his.
