are the chassis different from the ute to one tonner? also what versions eg, hq to wb are interchangable with parts. if for example the chassis is the same and i was to put a cab of a different model to convert to a 1 tonner would i have registration issues
my utes pretty nice at the moment but its basically a work ute and it's not going to stay nice for long but when i've finsished my house i'd love to do up a 1 tonner but use as much as possible of what i already have
cheers craig

1-tonner chassis is longer by about 6 inches than ute/van. HQ-WB are basically the same, with some minor differences but not enough to make cabs and chassis interchangeable. I have a crack free late HX RTS chassis is you want one. Its currently rolling wi |

In the real world something with a very heavy front end and light back end.....

The HZ does have RTS which is lots of things including relocated upper control arm mounts. All late HX's have the HZ upper control arm mountings, but the rest of the bits that make up RTS weren't introduced until HZ. As this is a late HX chassis it has th |
