GQ body swap. Help a brother out!
Hey all, my mate is soon selling his 4.2 turbo shorty which is an awesome truck from chassis/running gear down but has a rough as guts body on it.
I'm thinking about buying it and swapping the body from my tidy 2.8 onto the 4.2 chassis and vice versa.
I'm all over the legal issues / rego VIN transfer etc but what about the practical side of things?
Will the body bolt straight up to the new chassis? Am I going to need to do major panel beating to fit items like the larger radiator from the 4.2 etc?
Obviously there'll lots of plumbing changes for A/C and wiring the gauges but is there anything else I'm not thinking about?
Any advice appreciated.
Cheers, Lachie
