is it gq? or mq??

if mq bubs has a full lot of weld on brackets for them.

if gq not sure the width of the chassis is it the same as the coill sprung trucks?? if so get a chassis rear cut and cut all the parts off and weld them back on yours.

I'm looking at a leaf sprung tray body but would prefer a coil so I thought maybe I could change it over, the other option I surpose would be to use a wagon chasis but apart from having to weld brackets for the tray I think maybe a coil cab chasis is a little longer than the wagon.

Appreciate some thoughts on this tonight if possible as i'm need put my hand up for vehicle or pass

Nasty so you reckon its just the tray brackets and fuel tank positions that will be different?????
