bundera(rj70) body swap

[spako]

just wonderin i have a 85 landcriuser bundera(rj70) and the body is rusty. i was goin to put a normal single cab cruiser body on it . i was just wonderin if this is possible or are they to different

[Mosko111]

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

[spako]

yeah i no the doors are different the bundera ones are rounded on top front corner where the utes arnt but tryin to see if its worth doin as i want to start doin comps in it

[Mosko111]

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!

yeah not a huge fan as my other truck is a rodeo but i have seen wat this can do with a wagon body so can only imagine as a ute

this thing may even change my mind the only thing is it has a 22r motor

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?

[spako]

wats the difference with the guards y r they gotta b swapped

[Mosko111]

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?

[spako]

that was another option didnt think it wuld work tho but im only new to this

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?
