The SWB 70 became the 71, the MWB 73 became the 74 and the LWB 75 remained the 75. But the 75 PU (pickup) became the 79. And the 77 became the 78. To top this all in 2002 Toyota changed the front part of the cars to make place for the V8 engine that our friends from down under so deperately wanted and suddenly there was a 76.

Hans,
I am not sure where you are finding your information, however, please refrain from posting incorrect information.
You are really confusing folk here.
You may be referring to Australian Land Cruisers?
Which are not UK or European Land Cruiser.
My 1991 70 series.

.
Notice it has no leaf springs, this is because they are coils all round.
Notice how there are 6 wheel bolts and not 5 as you suggest.
