There seems to be no four-wheeled vehicle out there that a good-old Chevrolet engine can’t power. Hell, the things are so versatile we’re probably not that far away from seeing a motorcycle cradling a contorted bowtie-branded powertrain in its frame.

Generally speaking, people love fitting Chevrolet engines in old Ford cars, just as much as they like fitting Ford rear ends on old Chevrolet cars. But that’s just what we get on the surface, as the waters are much deeper in the custom industry and, as said, filled with Chevy-powered quirkiness.
Today’s find in this category is a 1971 Toyota Land Cruiser. Visually, it is your usual Land Cruiser revival. It sports dark red on the body, a lift for it to better handle uneven terrain, and specialized gear. That includes heavy-duty bumpers, a front with a Warn winch, and rear with a swing-away spare tire and jack mount—all there to help it get out of the sticky situations it might get itself in.
