Gq coil cab ute shell will bolt straighton a Gq coil wagon chassie.

In NSW you only need a change of details, . Like a blue slip and filled out on a bue slip, but only relevent to whats been changed. eg, if a ute has it yours must as well.....
The body tags are then irrelevent, the car is IDed by its chassie and engine numbers.
Change of details should cost about $50 at the rego place and nothing at the RTA.
Short GQ, Petrol, Turbo.
GQ TD42 ute

Check with the RTA, if it is changing from a passenger car category to a commercial category they may want an engineering cert. They usually want one for a change of category.
Don't ask me, ask them. I'm just runnin for my life myself.
Well they are all following you...
No they ain't, I'm just in front...............

No engineering required. Just need to get it weighed with the new body and get the seating number changed.
Its called something like a form 32 or other number.
And its best if the cab is newer than the chassie :roll:
