84 - 85 surfs have a solid front axle. Pretty much identical to your current surf but no electric windows and brown interior instead of grey. more exterior colours to choose from too.

Engine and body swap to a LN60 chassis, has been done by heaps of others :wink:

just buy this http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Cars/Toyota/hilux/auction-343284953.htm

can cost you at least a $1.5k to do it properly by the time u get it certed etc then u might as well do rears up front and cross over steering conversion at same time.

Do a wee search on this site, doin a SAS on a surf has been thrashed to death on here.

Cheers
