75 series body mounts vs early 79 series mounts

[hstath80]

Considering swapping my 75 cab with low km's on body and driveline onto a 79 series, are the body mounts the same? Obviously the hzj79 cabs are longer but do the mounts match with the cab overhanging or did they swap the cab mount locations as well?

Hzj 75 and 78 are mostly identical from the firewall and backwards, so you can use the newer BRM available through Toyota resources (Toyota tech eu) to compare chassis dimensions between 78 and 79 body mount locations.

You can also, probably acquire specific body mount purches/outriggers from Toyota, like what you can see in some members builds (SNLC for example) and weld them on.
There is a chassis drawing also in the body section of the older service manuals (for the earlier 75) available in the resources here on MUD.

GOOD LUCK
