OK so I need a new floor in the HJ cab (with HQ complete front), also it looks as though the inner and outer sills are shot to pieces (as are a couple of the cab mounts). I have been given a WB ute shell with very little rust, I am thinking of putting the tonner cowl and rear quarters on the WB, I figure there would be less work in swapping the rear quarters than patching up the HJ floor, sills and cab mounts? I have already replaced the HJ chassis due to rust, so there will probably be alot more under what looks like a reasonably recent paint(and bog) job Has anyone here done anything similar and maybe could lend a few words of experience, advice or opinions?

If it's a WB cab it will already have HJ-HZ dash mounts so there is no need to change anything. You can still run a HJ dash (which is basically the same as a WB) by using a HX or HZ harness. A HJ cab is easily picked from a HQ by the big plug on the firew |
