Hey there folks,
New to the forum. Managed to pick myself up a "apparently" 1971 FJ45 with F engine and old 3 speed from a local scrap yard the other day. Now I am faced with the mammoth task of getting her back on the road.. Engine turns over well and just needs a bit of TLC to get it running smooth again, plan is to get it running and driveable then handle the rest as I go along.
Now I have access to a 2007 70 series single cab with a 1HZ in it. The vehicle was an old farm truck that has been retired and will probably need an engine overhaul. What would be the complications of just doing a body swap and putting the 45 cab onto the 70 chassis? Have done a couple of searches but cannot see that this is common swap?
Looking forward to feedback.
Cheers all.
