Sounds like the same mods my uncle had to do when he used the "low rider hilux bakkie" cab on his 4x4 chassis after he rolled his bakkie down the Baviaans in 2000.

Geez Franco, just pulling your leg mate!

I follow this thread intensely! It allready has over 200 veiws!

If i knew more about bodywork I would deffinately comment on this thread. I followed your "Baby in the making" aswell. And enjoyed it intensely. Well done on that!

Hey Luke, hope all gets sorted soon.

I had a 1972 Chev Luv (Bloudraad en tang model) for more than 15years! And I recon I am not that much older than you!

You guys are waaaaay to hard on yourselves......

I can only sit and admire all the hard work that goes into such a project

Me, I would / could not even attempt such a project, as I do not have half the know-how, let alone the time!

Respect :!:

OOOOMS · Post by **OOOOMS** » Thu Mar 01, 2012 6:54 pm

So what did you guys get up to today

Hmmmm.....surfing....me thinks....

Kaspaas · Post by **Kaspaas** » Thu Mar 01, 2012 7:27 pm

Luke, When I still had a S/C I wanted to fit a "platkar" D/C body to the chassis.

If I understand your cross-over build, is that a normal 4x2 D/C body does not just bolt on to a 4x4 D/C chassis??

How can this be?
Is it a difference in year model maybe?

And all the while long, I had this dream of bolting on a Hi-Ace body onto a Hilux 4x4 chassis!

Rider · Post by **Rider** » Thu Mar 01, 2012 11:06 pm

hmmm

not sure have to find out, though cuople taxi drives stopped me adn they wanted my bakkie to fit a HI ACE body on apparently it fits perfectly , you just have to put smaller wheels

Rider · Post by **Rider** » Sun Mar 04, 2012 2:35 pm

lol small update time :arrow:

Post by **Mud Dog** » Sun Mar 04, 2012 6:47 pm

Unfortunately when you strip a vehicle right down like that, more often than not, you find a lot more problems than you anticipated. But at least then you know what they are or repair then straight away which can badly affect your budget. Looks like you're starting to reassemble ... what did you do with the body rust?

Hope all goes well from here on.

Rider · Post by **Rider** » Sun Mar 04, 2012 8:35 pm

:alvarin: yeah didn't expect so much mods

but started to re assemble

my old body is still around; i'm thinking maybe take it to reclamation and get it recycled and the old bin aswell

Oh, so obviously then you got a replacement body .... just didn't see that mentioned here before. Cool.

Luke, you don't maybe have an extra "gearlever rubber boot" laying around?
It has to be the boot that takes the 4x4 and gear lever!

Is that from the SFA? Seems like a single unit and not attached to the 'short one'?

Het jy al Ultimate 4x4 ( ongelukkig in Pta ) gebel 012 335 2673 vir daardie boot ?

yes its for SFA but not 4x4

Post by **Mud Dog** » Tue Mar 06, 2012 11:46 pm

Don't think it makes any difference. The short and long lever boots are separate anyway and I think there is no difference between the boots for the long stick.

Post by **Family_Dog** » Wed Mar 07, 2012 8:00 am

Not so, Andy. They are moulded together as one item.

Both my SFA's had separate boots. .......

mine is also separated!

Kaspaas · Post by **Kaspaas** » Wed Mar 07, 2012 9:05 am

Oom Andy, it does look like is two seperate rubber boots, but when you remove the carpets and underlay, you will see it is one moulded boot.

The boot is fitted inside a rectangular metal frame.

Ahhh, that could be

.... now that you mention it I do have some vague recollection of seeing something like that. It's been a while since I've worked on the gear lever bushes .... and my photographic memory is only showing me undeveloped negatives in some places!
