depends on what year mate, some are captured, some are bolt through, and stuff.
On the 1983, get the same rear 4 as a 75 series ute and you should be sweet! the front is all custom

thanks bj, so the cab itself should just take the same as a 75series?
and the front guards just use 2in tube like everyone else?

2" SHS or something on the front hinge go for like 5mm wall.
just lengthen the guard brackets, weld a bit of plate on them

oh yeah, your standard steering box sucks with the firewall and body lift shenanigan...
SIKFJ40 cut his firewall, which is probably the easiest and safest, i ran 60 series steering which is the safest, but hardest method.

i got factory fj45 power steer and a 60 series conversion so will work on that when it gets there.
thanks for the heads up bj
