75 ute cab on 80 chassis

Post by thewayitis »

Can anyone please show me some pictures or offer me some insight into how hard it is to mount a 75 ute cab on a 80 chassis? I have been offered one at the right price and would love coils.

just move or make some mounts, it would be easy as for a ute cab, get the front tyre lined up in the guard centre, then move the cab back four inches and go from there.
hands and mums dont count!!!

Speak to an engineer about how the finished car will be registered. This is an interesting (and good) idea but there will be some differences in ADR's between the two cars and that could lead to some heartache. (Utes are commercials and so the cab will comlpy to less ADR's than the chassis)

I'm sure it's a feasible project, but it's better to have the facts before you start.

thats it.
go direct to an engineer. get it from the horses mouth.

but essentially your looking at new mounts or moved mounts. shouldnt be hard.
we just put a 40 cab on a 60 chassis.
