1967 Stout body swap
Started swapping my 67 Stout body onto an 85 Hilux 4x. If anyone else has done this, I’d sure like to hear from you.

A few pics. The body fits fairly closely to the 85. The radiator to fan clearance looks like it will be the biggest issue. Once the body to frame mounts are fabbed, and things aren’t moving around, I’ll start working on the core support. https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.yot...b40b1394b.jpeg Tear down of 67 https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.yot...83c58d70e.jpeg More tear down https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.yot...4ed802548.jpeg From the back https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.yot...b1324980f.jpeg Initial bed mock-up on 85 frame https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.yot...43121818e.jpeg Left side of bed https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.yot...7ce9e9a66.jpeg Initial cab mock-up https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.yot...66d2ac9fc.jpeg Lining up cab and bed https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.yot...1e87229b8.jpeg Interior alignment https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.yot...736aa17b2.jpeg Firewall clearance https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.yot...f02ad9acd.jpeg Most lines matching up and ready to fab frame mounts. https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.yot...dce8d47a5.jpeg Right corner view |

https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.yot...2f1732121.jpeg This says it all. https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.yot...c7808ddeb.jpeg Core support mount https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.yot...657590399.jpeg Core support https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.yot...273ec7f7b.jpeg Front cab mount https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.yot...7f72cc9b4.jpeg Front cab mount Finished mock up of bed mounts, front cab mounts, and core support mount. Need to remove the bed to fab the rear cab mounts. I need to mock up the brake booster and then set the steering column angle at the firewall next. Still looks like the radiator and fan will be a challenge. Finished mock up of the brake booster and clutch master. Also got the radiator mounts fabbed. Steering column is next. Looks like I’ll need to splice the steering shaft in order to use the 67 steering wheel on the 85 shaft. https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.yot...20394afbf.jpeg Top view of aluminum spacers https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.yot...3a018fdd7.jpeg Front view of booster and clutch master |
