Loving your content. As a Melbourne 60 owner it's great to see this. Also loving the raw reflections and vlog style videos you've posted recently. Keep it up
Hell yeah mad looking forward watching this build. Dont be shy putting in the small boring stuff. Thats normally the bits you need to know and cant find out about.
Thanks for sharing this! as a 60 series owner im looking forward in fitting an 80 series chasis too but Didnt know it took some serious process amd things to consider into fitting the chasis, Looking forward on more videos about the process, it would help as a guide for more 60 series owners that want to do this convertion, Keep it up!
This will be awesome! Keep going! Good inspiration for me with my 1HD-T swapped 60. The 80 chassis I took the engine from is in my yard staring at me, daring me to do something similar.
Invest in a laser to be sure of plumb and level, and it makes it easier to project dimensions onto the floor for easy measurement.

I recommend you Dirt Livestyle videos. Nate is great and brilliant at explaining everything.
Just my comment for the algorithm and my $0.02 worth.... Do you really need to shorten the chassis?? The 60 body won't stuff 35's either end without cutting guards, why not shift the body back 60mm?? Then you'll only need to trim the easy sides, front of front, rear of rear, to clear bigger tyres.
@@favouritejay Fair enough, I've only seen full wagons on Trail Tailor's coil conversion, that uses the 60 chassis, but 80 everything else. Your mentioning of the Mckinnon's Cruisers kits, were the first I'd heard of them. My 60's are both king cab ute chops, if I ever get around to a full wagon build, I'll check them out. Are you going to run factory flares, to hide some of the width increase??
Ill definitely run flares on this build. Man check out Mckinnons cruisers on instagram. He is the GOAT for these builds. He manly does 40 series on 80 series chassis. Insane

Thank you mate. I’ll take a look into it
@@favouritejay Austin Niemala is also good fabricator. :)
In Australia coils off 80 series chassis
Guessing you looked inwhat was easier an 80 chassis or a 4 link rear?
Yes. Easier to engineer too. This is all basically a kit
I have 60 series told get a 80 series chassis body transfer instead for coil front end welding not the best thing to do
That’s what I’m doing mate. 80 series chassis. 60 series body 👍🏻
balls of steal to weld your own chassis
Either that or low IQ

Oh 100% need to. It’ll look out of whack with a wider wheelbase. This is a proven system too so I’m confident in the process
