Ha Ha .. .. .. I love Google images, Found it! japanesenostalgiccar.com/2010/03/15/reader-build-mitsubishi-360-van/Look at the second last pic on the right above the eng. pic. 1967 Mitsubishi 360 van, more like a mini station wagon! Front aircooled 2 cylinder engine, rear drive. ONLY rated for 17 PS so.. .. .. this rear might be a little on the weak side! Not to mention oh so incredibly rare, thus hard to get seals and breaks for it. Besides that, what would you do for replacement Tyre's? Sp-ooze you could weld on new ends from a different axle, but then you could just narrow any axle for that amount of work!

Sorry, but that isn't it . The spring saddles are on top of the Mitsubishi diff & on the bottom of my diff. My diff has sort of finned brake drums, best I can tell the Mitsu drums are smoothish. The handbrake cable & brake pipe set up are also different between the 2 diffs . There is a Suzuki Carry here in Deloraine & I am fairly certain the wheel/brake drum set up is similar, but I haven't had a chance to check it out as I don't see it very often. I have tried googling the Suzuki Carry but can't get a clear enough pic of the wheels on the 60's/70's vehicles .

Thank you for the link to the Kei vans. I think you might be right about the Suzuki van looking like it is rear engined.

No problem, quirky site, lots of body pics but personally I would like to see more pics of engines, I find that most forums are always centered around how the vehicle looks on the outside!

I agree, I would rather see more about the mechanics of the vehicle than what it looks like. Like to see pics of the engines, gearbox, diffs, suspension, steering, etc.
