I'm almost ready to start down this road with my '71 Pig (all stock, no P/S drum brakes, flat springs) but would like to get opinions from you smart guys out there. I'm most likely going the 4BD1T route like Rhino to minimize lift and an auto vs. 5 speed. This is going to be the family car. I've got an FJ60 roller with P/S and transfer case and I'm thinking maybe of dropping the Pig body onto that. I had read in some other posts that the 60 front axle was smaller than the 55 which means I can reduce lift, use 62 springs, have disc brakes and P/S already bolted to the frame. What's easier, making new body mounts or trying to mount all the 60 stuff to the Pig frame? Should I start another thread with this?
