look for the chassis diagrams and do your own measurments

and before you ask 80 seires chassis is different as well..

ive put a 75 ute cab on a bj70 chassis before only the front 2 mount line up

and thats differnt to a bundy too...

ice have you actually tried it on a bundy?

when i looked into it a few years ago i had both 75 and bundy chasis schematics and every mount that you needed was within mm or the same spot.
i also found 2 other people who had done it and they both said it was bolt up

apparently the rear three sets of mounts are the same on bundy and b/fj70

its just the front ones that are different as its shorter in the nose

not sure on the mounts on the 75 cab tho

you have to use a bundy front end, but that will bolt the a 75 cab

the 2 front bundy mounts need to be moved forward as they have a shorter front end than the heavy duty 7x series range

2nd the HD 70 series (shorty) have a different/ lower floor to the 75 series cab so i presume the mounts will be different
