And chobis, where did you pickup that forced air evaporation aircon system ? they are pretty rare and was wondering where I might find one ?

Purchase pictures , i will upload when i started working on it photos later when i download them off the camera i cant find :P

If you would like i could upload pics from when i bought it , a month ago and now ... because it is in need of some heavy restoring .. not to much rust, but there is defiantly a bit of work to be done on it, the tray is gone, and the body is ready to lift off for sandblasting and priming so I can cut the rust out My plan for it is to build a new flat back tray that doesn't weigh a tonne, I'm painting it some sort of darker metallic blue. and just getting the interior re done. engines had a full rebuild to, so it starts first time, every time :D

But............. why? I don't understand why you would need to do that. Column shift is easy enough to drive and the modification required to put a floor shift in would be extensive I would imagine. My main concern though is that a '62 Toyopet Stout is so very rare. Somebody told me there were only 16 of them imported to Australia. It would be well worth keeping it as original as possible. Anyway that's just my opinion. I have no idea what trans you could use to change it to a floor shift. Ahhh, I guess you have convinced me, but only 16 imported to Australia .... that's pretty sweet, i guess I'll have one of the coolest Utes in town, Thanks for your help guys. I'm actually happy that is so rare, makes it more of a unique car , especially for a first car Thanks

I have quite recently started restoring a 1962 Toyota stout 1900. This is going to be a project for me so i can have this awesome classic as my first car. I am looking for ANY possible way to put a floor shift in it. I don't even care if its an auto, i just dont really like the idea of column shift. The engine is either a 5R or an R , im not entirely sure, but the year it was made suggests its an R... If anyone knows of some compatible floor shift gear boxes that will go on without to much trouble please help me out ... auto or manual .. doesn't matter Thanks
