differance between 81 lux and 84 on lux chassis

Post by flyinwall »

is there any differance between the early (81-83) lux chassis and later (84 on) chassis as i would like get a new chassis for mine (81 model) as it has rust in the chassis and if they are the same that means that i can bolt my cab on to it

cheers

Yep, Cab mounts will be different as the width of the chasis is different. Alot of work would be involved to do a cab swap if thats what you are getting at.

he is right to a point the diffrence is the cab mounts only the chassis are the same width
it can be swapped but the front mounts take the most modifying and the engine bays are shorter in the early hiluxs
FOR SALE hilux parts all models
have most parts available from early to late

Gearbox mounting is different between the 4 and 5 speeds.
