Simply jiggling the body so that everything lined up. It ends up being a bit of a push and shove to line up things. Do NOT redrill anything!
The BJ60 specific frame was well under $500 at the wreckers. I saw another couple when I was there a month or two ago. If you're interested PM me...
They might but it isn't their normal practice! They usually put a skim coat of bondo over the whole vehicle!
I work as a shop teacher/maintenance man at an expat school serving mostly missionary kids. It is a volunteer position but gives us opportunity for travel here as well.
Day 5! The final day of the frame swap! What a whirlwind week where we went from a rusty frame that made me uncomfortable to a frame probably more solid than when I bought the truck in 1989!
Here's the team that got the job done and in record time!
Now for day 4! Time to straighten the body and frame so the bolts will fit and the truck will look and track normally too! Proceeded faster than I expected on day 4!
Up with the body! Out comes the old frame on day two! There was nice wobbly supports holding up the old body and we had to air down the rear tires just to get the frame out.
This is where things get just a little scary! Remember, this is Central America NOT the USA. Folks here DON'T have lots...
