Finally almost completed this job and drove it for the first time tonight. What a massive improvement in driveability and smoothness. All these trucks should be automatic..☺☺☺ i used a GM 4L80E with a compushift and a nissan gq transfer case. Fitted quite a few landy parts to it so maybe it'll start leaking...hang on the perkins phaser is a pommy engine anyway! !😮😮

Video is an OKA with a Cummins. Sadly the person who owns it lost his licence driving it unregistered among other things......

Several OKA`s have had an Auto conversion.

I imported a 4l80e from the States to do one conversion. It was tricked up to suit the OKA. Also brought compushift, trans cooler and shifter etc from same place.


I never did the conversion as OKA got sold before hand. The whole conversion kit was sold to a chap in Canberra.

My old man's looking to sell his single cab with the Perkins - I forget the model designations but it's approx MY1990... NS maybe? There's some awesome custom OKAs out there...

Being modular, you can reconfigure them to suit your purpose. Or build something.

Mine started out as a single cab, had a body put on it. I then reconfigured it to a Mutli Cab.

I did a trip back home re configuring it as I went along.

Took of old back in Newcastle and fitted Multi Cab and tray.

Drove to Adelaide, took tray of and fitted rear pod.
