Reet, you'll need to do some cutting and rewelding of the big tube thingy between yer 2 chassis rails in order for it to fit, and then you'll need different propshafts due to the fact it's about 2" shorter than an LT77. Other than that, it should fit fine
I don't mind havin a go at the welding bit MHM! I can do cutting too.
thanks 5 - looks like an exchange box then. just thought it mite be an opportunity to go fur a better/stronger box, but seems like too much hard work.

Have a word with Ashfcroft Transmissions.
I had this conversion carried out several years ago by their local garage.I dropped it off and picked it up (job done ) the same day .
I can't remember exactly but I think I had to have the bellhousing replaced as the Lt 77 one wasn't any use .,but I don't think it required any cutting /welding.
Anyway Ashcroft had the parts required to do the swap.
