know a bit, had uk suplied '86 single cab for 11 years before moving onto my current '93 jap double cab. is your friends truck uk or jap? as the japs went to IFS much sooner than the uk. as for similarities to the surfs as far as i can work out they seem to be very closely related overall but bit of a pick'n'mix with exact parts and years ie solid axel only on 1st gen surfs, my IFS d-cab seems pretty much the same as a 2nd gen surf from the b pillars forward but pure truck rear doors back leaf springs not coils etc (cheaper to lift! ) engines are again smilar to range in the surfs but not related to when they were available in the surf.
anyway get him to join up! its close enough.

nothing really special comes to mind, just that if its got independant front suspension the nasty grinding noise you get on full lock will probably be the front steering stops! not to serious, just needs a spot of grease, worrid me a bit when it happend as i back out of the garage having just bought mine! happy to see another trucker on here.
