Nissan 60 1967 Service Manual

You’ve got a 1967 Nissan Patrol 60 series on the lift. Maybe it’s a restoration, maybe a farm truck that’s been sitting. Either way, the last thing you want is to guess the clutch master cylinder bore or wire the lighting switch wrong. This isn’t a hobby for guesswork – it’s metal, fuel, and high voltage. The Nissan 60 1967 Service Manual (original factory bulletin, not a reprint) gives you the exact specs the line workers used. 25 pages of chassis, body, electrical, and optional equipment data. I’ve seen more than one afternoon wasted because somebody used aftermarket specs on a 60-series differential. Don’t be that guy.

Ignition/Starter System – What Changed in ’67

Page 4 of this bulletin spells out the switch from key-plus-starter-button to a single ignition key. That might sound trivial, but if you’re swapping a dash harness from a pre-’67 Patrol, you need the correct part numbers and wiring logic. The manual lists the ignition switch assembly part number 25150 10600 and explains how the switch ties into the combination meter, turn signals, warning lights, and optional washer. It also states what it does not control – the horn and other lamps. That kind of detail keeps you from chasing phantom shorts.

Hydraulic Clutch: OEM Bore Diameter and Adjustment

Hydraulic clutch actuation replaced mechanical linkage in this model. The manual gives you the master cylinder bore – 15.88 mm (5/8 inch) – and the operating cylinder bore – 19.05 mm (3/4 inch). Piston stroke on the master is 35 mm (1.38 in.), operating cylinder stroke is 25 mm (0.98 in.). Release lever end play: 2.5 mm (0.10 in.). Page 5. If you’re rebuilding the slave cylinder, those numbers are the difference between a pedal that works and a pedal that goes to the floor. Use aftermarket specs? Good luck.

Chassis: Front Axle and Differential Coverage

The CHASSIS section (page 7) covers front axle, differential, and steering. You get factory procedures for the differential, not just exploded diagrams. This matters because the 60-series Patrol uses a Dana-style axle, and the shim thicknesses are specific to the year. The manual doesn’t include torque values for the pinion nut – that’s a slight limitation – but it does document the tear-down and assembly order. Pair this with a Automotive Industry Overview for context on how Nissan adapted these components.

Electric System: Wiring Harness and Fuse Block

Electric system section (pages 15-17) covers wiring harness routing, lighting switch, horn, parking/tail lamp, and the fuse block. No guesswork on which wire feeds the parking lamps. The manual shows the exact switching method and part numbers. You’ll also find the optional equipment wiring notes – important if your Patrol came with a heater or windshield washer from the factory. Don’t trust a generic 12V diagram; the Patrol body ground paths are unique.

Transmission Floor Cover – Why It’s in the Manual

Page 11 includes the transmission floor cover. You might think a floor cover is trivial, but the Patrol’s tunnel shape changed between model years. The 1967 cover uses a specific bolt pattern and seal. If you’re putting a new carpet or rubber mat in a 60-series, you need the dimensions and fastener locations from this bulletin. The manual covers all body panels from the radiator shell (page 8) to the tarpaulin bow supports (page 13). Body alignment on these trucks is tricky; the factory sequence for fitting the hood ledge and front fender is on page 9.

OEM Source vs. Aftermarket Reprints

This is the original Nissan Motor Co. service bulletin, publication T/S:1 (330200), issued May 20, 1967. It’s scanned from the factory print – not a third-party compilation. The part numbers (e.g., 30610 46500 for the clutch master cylinder) are direct from Nissan. Reprint houses often blur these numbers or guess at torque values. I’ve had to re-order parts because a reprint transposed digits. Spend the money once on the real file.

Does this manual cover the full engine overhaul?

No. It focuses on the ignition/starter, hydraulic clutch, chassis, body, electrics, frame, and optional equipment. There is no engine internal section in these 25 pages.

What type of file is this, and can I print it?

It’s a searchable PDF scan of the original 1967 Nissan service bulletin. You can print any page, but the scan quality is good enough to read part numbers on screen. I keep a tablet in the shop – faster than flipping paper, and you won’t grease up the pages. The file includes the full table of contents with page references, so you can jump straight to the clutch adjustment (page 5) or steering (page 7). The manual is 25 pages total, covers the Nissan Patrol 60-series chassis numbers (L)60-15001 and (L)G60-07001 onward.
