Body Swap

Recommended Posts

Hi All

Well, I've thrown in the towel on my current repair/welding project - the truck had just too much rot than I had the time to fix

So, a new plan of attack, last night I got an excellent body shell with NO welding needed anywhere!! It's still attatched to a chassis etc but we plan to change that soon.

My questions, for anyone who has ever done a body swap, is what are the things you wished you had thought of? What made things easier? What would you avoid doing next time?

I'm lucky that I have access to two two post ramps and a decent workshop so I'm hoping it wont be that difficult to do.

One other thing, the shell is off a 96 V8 Auto, the rest is a 96 300tdi manual. Is it as simple as changing the pedal box and adding the slave cylinder to the bulkhead?

All thoughts appreciated,

Stu.
