the misses just bought a 60 and the chassis has alittle rust
in it so she was wondering if she got a 80series rolling chassis
would the 60s body line up

most likely would have to move the body mounts on the chassis to suit.

IT would be a bit of work but it could be done relatively easily

If you use this link and put in your browser, details a guy in America putting a 60 series body on 80 series chassis.

the 80series running a 3F/5spd would have same mounting points as the 2F/5spd??? they nearly the same arnt they....anyway its just a idea she will be happy either way she wants a truck so she can learn and have some fun :D

There is a cheap 80 series chassis in the forsale section on here, and you need a fair bit of room. I would think the mounts are different, check the link in the above post for the thread on how the guy did it, lots of great pics, came up looking neat as too.
