FJ40 body onto a FJ70 swb frame?

[Radish150]

I know this is a weird one , but that's what I need to do. The other option is to use the 40 body on the 40 frame and swap over as much of the drive train to the 40. Which of these painful options would be the "easiest" all things considered? From what I understand not much of the 70 drive train is a "bolt in" to a 40 chassis. Thanks for any info.

I think the 70 is a fair bit longer than a 40,about10- 12 inches I think.
I would use the 40 chassis and swap the mechanicals.

Yeah, the more I read the more I see this is the best way. Thanx
