not to sure about the bundera mate, but im pretty sure the bj73 middy is all the same as a 75 from doors to front grill,
and i have seen a 75 cab on a bundera body in town, im guessing a few mounts would have been changed though

would definately look the goods! mount the cab 100-150mm back if possible to improve the approach angle, and just move all body mounts or make new ones, would be good to see another cruiser on the comp scene!

My mate swapped a MWB body to a ute cab, only had to add rear body mounts. I imagine the bundy bod to ute cab would be the same, you would need to use the bundy guards and stuff though.

The Bundy has a shorter bonnet on it as they only ever had 4cyl motors

but the rest should be similar.

Not sure if you can swap the front ends?

The guards on a bundy angle in more at the front of the car, and as said, the bonnet it narrower aswell.

What about a hilux cab?
I'm not quitting drinking, I'm retiring at the top of my game - sporting comeback likely.

Good to see some Bundy talk out there guys,

I recently rolled my bundy :(

and looking for a body swap, I have been told a sierra LWB is a good option to keep things light weight. Any thoughts/tips?
