Fj40 body on bj73 frame

[googledave]

Hi all, I’ve got an fj40 I was about to stretch and also have a bj73 that’s starting to really show some body rot. Was wondering if anyone here has done a 40 body on 70 chassis. The 73’s motor is in the middle of a rebuild and I was going to take the body off so I can strip and paint the frame anyway. I have a feeling once I do that I’ll see a ton more rot on the body then I expected

Is the bj73 right hand drive?

It is possible , take care for body position to get the front axle at the same place as stock 40 , some frame swapped 40 look weird with the front wheels too far back

If it’s been done… it was in Pakistan

There was a cool truck with a prado dash that came out nice
