how many nissan patrol owners here?

[tommy g]

I have a 1969 nissan patrol my dad bought for us to restore about 5 years ago. It is all original with only about 17 000 miles on it, but unfortunately its got quite a bit of rust. We never got around to doing anything with it mostly because I got into suzukis instead. I might still restore it one day, I was just wondering how many people on here own nissan patrols?

I have a 66 that I found on Craigslist. Had to buy it at the time... I knew I'd never see one so close for sale again.






It's way too rough to consider restoring it. Trying to source parts seems like a nightmare just thinking about it. Not even sure if the engine is seized or not.

Planning to make a reliable trail rig out of it one day. SBF; C4; D300; D44 front; 9" rear; 33s or 35s. Nothing extreme.


Got any pics of yours?

i only have a few pictures of it. this one still has the original hand crank start

all it really needs is fenders and the rest can be welded up. it runs really well

Wow, that's in pretty good shape (compared to mine!).

Here's a couple links to Patrol stuff:

wow those parts are way too expensive. i think at that price i would rather fix my existing fenders.

I've got two Y60 Patrols which are both daily drivers. Lots of L60 parts in Australia. You also see parts come up on Ebay fairly regularly.

The patrol needs to go! Someone save it!
