late 80s hilux chasis specs(owners please help)

[muddyhilux]

hi all,am about to buy a late 80s model double cab hilux and am now thinking ill justy make up an a frame to tow it home,think its just gona be easyer,but dont kno chasis rail widths and bolt hole specs,im pretty sure theyre not the same as a 130 surf chasis so i cant just measure my truck,can someone throw up some specs for me,need distance between hole centres,and then centre to front edge of chassis and then width centre to centre

[Dace]

is it a ln106 or a ln65?

I got a 106 I could measure for ya

[turoa]

just make an a frame to fit your surf and then it will bolt onto most hiluxes (40 series onwards I think)

[muddyhilux]

not sure yet dace,still waiting for info to come through,cheers for the offer tho,if its the 106 ill get back to you,

and turoa,cheers for that info,i had a feeling theyd be pretty similar,ill measure my surf,get conformation of chasis of ute then get somer some to compare for me,just to double check,long way to drive with the wrong size gear and not really any way to mod bar,

cheers again

ok just measured up the surf,dace if you could double check these figures that would be much appreciated



if anyone has 65 series chasis and wanted to double check aswell thatll cover both bases

cheers

ahh see i thort that would happen,similar but not exact,um ok,but other sizes were ok?mite have to make up sloted plate

not sure if it helps but an ln61 (ifs surf) has the same pattern as a ln65 (solid front d/cab) I have swapped bars between them with no problem, I can measure my ln65 if it helps?

[muddyhilux]

hi rangimotors,i only have access to 130 series surfs of yeh,that would be great if you could measure yours up for me,cheers

[rangimotors]

cool will do ill get as much as i can without taking my front bar off which is a real shit, also don't forget about the front hangers for the leaf springs they sit close to the factory bolt holes at the bottom of the rail so it can be a bit of a bitch to pick up the 3 holes without cutting a notch out.
