FJ45 - Swapping in FJ73 Running Gear?

[tazza]

Hi guys, I've a FJ45 that is under resto and so much needs to be replaced that i am searching out a donor vehicle. Would anyone know if the FJ73 running gear can be place under the FJ45. ie 2f 4 speed to 3f 5 speed.

Fortunately i will have available the engine+gearbox+transmission and diffs available. Not sure if power steering as yet.

The parts should fit without any major problem. You might have some fiddly bits like throttle linkage and crossmember placement, but the big parts will fit well.

Cheers Gumby. Having looked into the rebuild of the 2f and what work needs to be done for the 5 speed a donor vehicle seems the right option.
