Crazy idea and all what with the whole Romeo & Juliet side of the match up but a mate and I were toying with the idea of putting his 75 cab on my shorty chasis. His ute is just sitting there and my my beloved shorty is nearing retirement soon.
Leaving the td42, gearbox etc and running gear on there as I already have pto winch, lockers and shit are there any foreseeable problems aside from obvious ones like body mounts and maybe engine bay and trans tunnel not aligning. This isn't going to be regod or anything just a toy really that would be fun to knock together.
As I said we are just.toying with it to do for some fun so it hasn't exactly been thought through past the "I wonder if this would work or go kaboom" stage but we are both fairly capable of doing the work and if it works then move onto suspension and decent size rubber and so on
Please don't hunt me down for the Romeo and Juliet reference. I'll hurt myself instead
