Well, after a painfully long search I finally have my crew cab. It's a repairable write-off (stolen/recovered) that I picked up from Pickles salvage auction last week. I paid $6500 without really knowing anything about the running gear. We got the engine running yesterday after bypassing the lift pump, which is stuffed. The fuel line is busted off at the sender unit, and the rear axle splines are completely stripped. I haven't been able to drive it anywhere yet so the transmission is still kind of an unknown thing. The interior is OK but covered in graffiti. Does anyone have any tips on removing spraypaint from vinyl and carpet (on the roof lining). What I would really love to know is whether anyone recognises this vehicle. I would love to find out some mechanical history on it.

I'd be tempted to paint the dash with a vinyl paint.
Something like this 3M Vinyl Paint - Satin Black, 400g - Supercheap Auto Australia
As for the roof, I think replacing the "carpet" may have the best result. At least if you get it all off in one peice you can use it for a template.
Looks like a nice score for that price, obviously you'll have to spend a few bucks but with a couple of grand spent you'll still have a nice priced 130.
Good luck with it.

If you leave the grafitti.

Looking at the larger pics (thanks guys) it looks like a standard roof lining (at first I thought it was marine carpet).
You can replace this - that's gonna cost but will have the best result.
I have also seen this stuff painted with enamel spray but you'd have to go for a dark colour (black?) and dont think it would look that great.
