G'day all.

I've always wanted to have an old f series ute and am looking at using my 88GQ LWB Patrol running gear and chassis as a bases to mount it on. Firstly I'm not certain as to the size of the older f series from 48 through to 60's but is ideally what I'd like to use.

I'm also interested in the step side rear but may be alot of dramas with length etc.

The reason for using the Patrol is because I've spent a fair amount on the motor and running gear as it's all been either rebuilt or replace, but the body has seen better days. (years of 4wding) and I also want it 4wd not lowered!

Any help appreciated cheers Mick

hmmmm Obviously not done????

Can any one give some measurement of the cab so I can see if it's viable for that era of truck? Body mount positions, overall width, overall length, centre wheel width, length of engine bay etc etc. Much appreciate any help as this'll be my first build up! (apart from an old hilux turned into a buggy making suspension parts etc)

You may want to talk to someone in a Ford truck club for the best information.
