Full Chassis

[fink]

Can anyone tell me if there's a chassis,eg>hilux,nissan,rodeo, etc that will neatly fit under a FE/FC Van or Ute,with a w/base within75mm.
Thanks Gaz! :-*

An old member (Harko, now hangs out at the FB/EK forum) started a wagon (never finished?) but was very secretive about the chassis he used. I've heard there's a Jap chassis that does the job.

Well, I can tell you what chassis was used, as I put him onto it.
It was a Toyota Crown chassis.

I think an L300 van or L200 ute chassis goes close

Well Fink,
What are you up to. Are we about to see a new project car. Brett

Hey thanks for the info guys,Alex i never would have guessed a sedan chassis as we always assume a ute chassis is used.A new floor over  the chassis i think is the big challenge,Gaz!
Hey Brett glad ugot reg ,about time,answer to yor q/s,behave ! 8)

Whats the largest engine you can run with that chassis out of curiosity?

[fink]

Nes it's upto the engineers and Vicroads at the time ,as we all know they change thier rules and minds like a hooker changes the sheets.It's not about h/power,just a nice ride in the weeeeds  ;D
Gaz!

Hi Gaz,
I just picked up a HQ one toner chassis to drop an EK cab on top off, wheel base 80mm longer and cab has about 10mm clearance over rails and measures 80mm front wheel track difference.

Yeah the Track on 1tonners is way off,it has to sit inside the sills,or close to the mark,wheelbase can be altered.I will look into the toyota crown 4sure,thanks Gaz! 8)

[customFC]

Use the Crown floor and as much of the firewall as you can.

Did some PI work,looks like 67-79 is the go,track is good and w/base 25mm longer,off to Pick a Part for a squiz,will GBS, Gaz! :P

[fink]
