Hi guys,

Would this be a good thing to keep or do i need a ute chassis?? or are they the same setup?
All help appriciated, thank you

HQ - WB sedan/wagon/Stato chassis are a ½ chassis. They bolt to the main body of the car at the firewall with legs going back under the body also attached to the body by bolts. The rear suspension is mounted onto the actual body shell.

As well as what Dave has said, the 1/2 chassis is identical to the front half of the commercial chassis, and it is welded to the rear 1/2. Plenty of smashed/cracked tonner chassis have been repaired this way in the past. A lot of 55-57 Chev's have also be |
