Hello fellow cruisin landcruisers !

I am from Canada, in the Quebec province and I am desperate to find a frame from my beloved BJ60 with H55F transmission. I've looked everywhere online and the 5001-60620 and 5001-60621 seems discountinued.... This is why i am reaching for my fellow comrades to ask is there:
1- Is there a retailer or renowned fabricator (high pressure welder, who will certify the build) within my country that would build and ship.
2- A donor frame still available in good to very good shape with no welding on frame or apparent welding that would descredit an inspection.
3- is there a possible retrofit/bolt on frame that would fit on my cabin (ex: FJ62 as ive heard, but not sure)
4- If none of the above, is there a detailed schematic of this frame.

I am open to all suggestions as I cannot let go of such masterpiece of engineneering.

Thanks in advance

If you need a new frame, this would be the time to look at an FZJ80 frame.... with a lil tweaking it can def go under the body of your BJ60, but you would need to give up your spring suspension for a coil suspension.....

Would it pass inspection or inspections with the modifications needed for the frame swap?

That is a good question (regardless of what frame?) being that he is in the province of Quebec...!! Which I dont know anything about....

Only reason I asked is because the op said something about no welding done to frame and needing to pass inspection. Im not even sure how titling works with a swapped frame here in the states much less Quebec.

inspection's are not mandatory, its more insurance wise, because it is insured as an antique and wanna get restored as is.

Here you need to pass an evaluation through an agent selected by a list of evaluators and then inspected

Same years? And is there any reference upon the said tweaking that I could be enlightened about ? :D
