GU dash/interior into a GQ
Afternoon ladies and gents,
It's been a while having sold my beloved GU ute over a year ago due to a change in circumstances, however now I would like to buy a GQ station wagon and turn it into a beast of a dual cab.
I am however a stickler for modern comforts and "styling", so my question is, can I put a dash etc out of a GU into a GQ, aka business on the inside party on the outside? Haven't got access to either at the moment to do my own measurements or have a look at what can be done, just putting ideas together so I can start costing my project for when the time comes.
Any info, advice or even ideas would be appreciated.

I doubt it. The GU cab is slightly wider. But anything is possible if you throw enough $$$ and thought into it.

If your going to that much trouble and expense have you considered a custom interior?
2005 GU IV ST 3.0. Snorkel. Roof rack. Awning. Spots. Welded I/C. Dual batteries & VSR. UHF. Barn door hinge extension. Roof top spot lights. Rear drawers. 2" lift. NADS. EGT and boost gauges. Trans temp and water temp gauges. Provent 200 catch can. Rear ladder
And crawling on the planet's face, some insects called the human race. Lost in time. And lost in space... and meaning.

A custom interior was my next idea, as I suspected the GU dash would be too big. Has anyone ever seen any GQ's with custom dashes?

A lot of comp guys put in custom dashes, probly more for practicality than comfort but sure you work something out. . . Polished mahogany with gold highlights. . .

Yeah true dat! I forgot in my early days I grafted a HJ Monaro dash into a HQ. That wasnt just a simply remove and refit job. The entire dash frame from the HJ was needed to be fitted aswell.
