Ok thanks all, just zoning in on the details and have a couple of ways of checking now.

Keep in mind too Phil, the GU's run and ECU. Not sure how you'd go with converting the loom so everything works as it should. Particularly the tacho and temp sensor. Your going to need the TD accelerator pedal too as the ZD and TB is electronic.
Thanks Mark, good to know. The loom is a $650 splice to run the dash, but Brunswick didnt mention the accelerator pedal assy.

Rang Brunswick, they tear the electronics out of the pedal assy of the GU and convert it to a mechanical set up like in the GQ.
If you have a welder, here’s how I converted a ZD pedal with the TPS for the auto to a manual TD42 cable.
I’ve since put the TPS on the pump but couldn’t be bothered removing the pedal to remove the ZD TPS.

Thanks John,
still tossing up whether to go GQ or GU, claim has been verified for payment it seems but insurance company yet to make contact regards the final options - so waiting waiting...

OK, another lemon to resolve. I want to keep the PTO for the hydraulic winch. The fitting of the GQ box into the GU is a pain due to clearances with the dash - does anyone know if the 3L manual GU box have a PTO function?
OK, final assessment in, repairable write off so, went thru as a repairable write off, keep the rego, no notification to Vicroads, bought the beast back for 13K, truckloads of balance to rebuild it, happy days.
That is a fantastic outcome, so glad for you Phil.
So you are now hunting for a GQ cab?
