LN60 body swap for LN61

Goose · Post by **Goose** » Thu Aug 10, 2006 7:05 pm

Hey, does anyone know if a LN61 body will fit on a LN60 chassis?

All going well I should have the 60 on saturday, and the 61 not far after. I want to put the 61 body on as the 60 met with an untimely demise when the motor blew..... he shot it in the drivers door.......

So, that said, otherwise the 60 body is very tidy, but the 61 is too (and it's black!!) so if anyone wants a 60 body (painted cammo) with a few holes in the door, and a 61 IFS chassis (stay out of it steve!! we are all well aware of what you think of IFS!! :wink:

) let me know.... also a gearbox from a 60 too I suppose.....

Exactly the same swap that matt4u did, he'll know of any differences. I own a 60 and a 61 and I don't see any sifferences. My 61 is shot so using it to tidy the 60 series up a bit

OK, just been out to see it, it looks as though it was cammo, then someone has painted black over most of it. It would need a paint job to be mint. Other than that, it's really straight, and the interior is in bloody good condition for it's age. The motor is seized, but the gearbox is good.

So, to recap.... 1 LN60 body, 1 LN60 gearbox, 1 LN61 chassis for sale.

how much for the LN61 chassis :?:

Is it complete with frontend, rear end, powersteer

Goose · Post by **Goose** » Sat Aug 12, 2006 4:50 pm

Holy crap!! I didn't think there'd be so much interest in it!!

I like to be as fair as possible when selling stuff, monaro427 asked about body 1st, rokhound asked about "ifs bits" 2nd, so in the interest of fairness they would have 1st go at it.....provided the price was right :wink:

or you could all get together and fight to the death for it... either way, works for me :lol:

and incase it does work out for you hustler, yes, 100% complete chassis.

cheers guys

Oh yeah, it's got a TJM bull bar on it (sorry, already sold it to a mate), but I dont know what it's worth. Its steel, painted black, made for a surf with indicators mounted in it etc.... what's it worth????

...you'll regret it

I've done that swap before too... pretty much a straight swap from memory... don't think we had to do anything to it... body mounts are all the same and in the same place.

As for the parts - set up a cage fight... post the video

Sweet, I like the way you're thinking steve!!

Talkin to matt4u in chat the other day, the only thing he had to do was put the 61 handbrake cable onto the 60 chassis, and shorten up the steering shaft, or something to that effect, should be easy....

H2OLOVA · Post by **H2OLOVA** » Mon Aug 14, 2006 11:13 am

I'll do it for you............the only thing is you have to bring it into work before Wednesday :wink:

Goose · Post by **Goose** » Mon Aug 14, 2006 11:22 am

hahaha, well, that wasn't the reply I was expecting... I thought there'd be a few more expletives than that!! :shock:

but why before wednesday....???

anyway, I was gonna try and get the body off the 60 here... you've got way to much shit clogging up your work now, let alone having another 4wd there!! (bloody niblik!!)

we could always just dump all the 40 series crap outside tho..... :lol:

niblik · Post by **niblik** » Mon Aug 14, 2006 12:10 pm

bloody niblik?? BLOODY NIBLIK???? BLOODY NIBLIK??? :frighten:

my thing is takin up room at h2o's but i can still go playin in 'ole rusty'...

my things getting done, all beit slowly due to lack of funds, which is slowly coming back into the green! :oops:

where as you have some money, the ln61 truck is sitting there and youre sitting there, looked at the ln60 truck, and thats still sitting there... hmmmm... shall i continue? :tongue: cheeky samoan...

take it into h2o's.. we'll have a nights mission on it and get it going so you can go bimbling down the river beds in it.. then we can all play.. go on... be good to have ya drivin along, rather than stalkin..

sorta un-nerving.. :wink:

..

what ya think my island friend?

Goose · Post by **Goose** » Mon Aug 14, 2006 12:47 pm

well, yes, I can see your point niblik..... :roll:

however..... :wink:

all I have to do is swap an engine and a body, and then I have a WOF'd and reg'd beam-front surf..........

then... coon springs.....locka......LSD....... heeheehee :lol:

oh, and tyres....yes, definatly tyres.....

Smurf · Post by **Smurf** » Mon Aug 14, 2006 12:55 pm

just be sure to use rego for the beam axle surf not the IFS one. WOF man might pick up on incorrect chassis, has happened to a friend of mine due to the details on VIN plate being incorrect

Goose · Post by **Goose** » Mon Aug 14, 2006 1:11 pm

hehe, I go to a guy who's been a mate for years, I was his first customer when he opened his shop 14 years ago, so he never looks too hard at my stuff......... he only seems to check the body plate, I've never seen him check the chassis plate, although I've heard about and experienced testing station bullsh#t before, so I hear what you're saying brother!! :wink:
