coily body to wt chassis

[skez]

can any body tell me if u can put a coily body or maybe just the front end into a 91 wt swb sierra or show me a link and yeh i have tried the search

They bolt straight on, but why would you. Break a screen and you carn't do it yourself.

Coily front end can be made to fit a WT but its not easy.
The guards and bonnet are different where they meet the body.

AFAIK a coily body will go on a WT chassis without much fuss at all.

true i mainly wanted to put the front end because coilys windsreen dont fold so if i roll it its stuffed

and the doors

the coily guards onto a wt isn't a problem .coileys have a slightly taller firewall on the body tub. the coily bonnet doesn't drop away at the back edge the way a wt bonnet does, so coily bonnet is taller leaving a gap at the back edge. hinges are too short to meet up with wt bonnet mount on body,extending hinges wouldn't be too hard.

true slack well i wont worry about it then sounds like im better of changing the whole body over

You should be able to use the coiler guards and clip with the WT bonnet though

Body swap question aside... if you're mechanically minded, its pretty easy & cheap to stick a set of bottom end bearings in, although it could be a gudgeon pin, which isn't as simple. That may give years more service out of it for really cheap...

maybe all i no is that he let it run out of oil till the oil press light come on
