shud be fairly straight forward from what i've heard, altho wheelbase is slightly different... dont quote me, not 100% sure.
96 GQ LWB, Rd28T, nothing exciting, but CLEAAAAAN. 2" Kings flexy's, long shocks, custom dump, 3" zorst, fuel screw meddled with.

I doubt there is any wheel base difference, both are same chassis aside from rear body mount to tray mounts, ute cab will bolt straight on to wagon chassis.

Iff its gq leaf cab you will need to use the wagon gaurds and cut through the inner gaurd for the shock tower. The cap is welded on to the engine side of the gaurd but they have not cut through the wheel side into the cap.

easy as.

Wheel base is slightly different but nothing to really worry about .
And the ute cab will bolt straight on , i just done this a couple of months ago to my gq , check out my build in the members section if you want.

I have just measured a "92 coil cab, a "92 wagon and a "00 coil cab and all are the same wheel base, leaf GQ are longer in the front which is why the front gaurd hole is further forward and why they have a longer front shaft.

All coil patrols are the same wheel base over all the models, GQ to GU.

All use the same trail arms, radius arms ect.

Early leaf cab (flat gaurds like MQ/MK) is different at headlight position and all leaf gaurds are different to coil gaurds in wheel arch position.
