Are there any older G wagen owners out there /here who can give some knowledge on owning one?

Lots of folks with much experience with older G's here:

I've been driving and servicing them continuously since 1984.

Dutch...

Thanks. I have an 85 300D which is very reliable. Since you have plenty of experience with G's; How would you say the late 70's to mid 80's are as far as reliability?
I would imagine if I work on my 300D I would also be able to do the same on a G wagen? as far as parts and maintenence...
Thanks.
and good links,
Austin

EuroTruck Importers here in Georgia has G-Wagens, Unimogs and Pinzgauers. They have filled some of the void left by Europa.
