Shorty versus Limo suspension, body panels, etc...

[PHIL]

Okay, still doing my preliminary research for my GenII Jap-spec import (although I have pretty much decided its happening). Still have a few questions for you guys:

I've been pouring over the North American and Jap-spec CAPS, and it seems that many parts are the same between the LWB and the Shorty. Can anyone confirm this for me? From what I can see (though mitsi changed the PART#S) The GenII SWB and LWB are identical, suspension-wise, except for the t-bars and the rate of the rear coils. Is this correct?

As far as the body, it seems identical from the end of the front doors, forward ('cept for the fancy grille on the LWB). Yes?

U-joints and other associated paraphenalia appear to be the same, just different length driveshafts... True?

Window Glass... All the same from Shorty to LWB except the rear slider?

This is so important because I can get breaker parts or new parts out of the US for genII LWBs, (didn't sell genII in Canada in any bodystyle), which would make it much easier to keep the shorty on the road... Spares for the turbo-diesel I can stockpile, but it would be nice to know that I can get some stuff stateside...

Thanks boys...

I think your pretty well correct the swb and lwb share many common parts.
We do know that the torsion bars are different so are the fuel tanks but body panels are the same (except the rear quarters).
I think the swb also has a lower roof line ?
