Hi Not posted much on here but looking for any advice out there.
Have ordered a new galvanised chassis from maer in poland and getting a local company to do the swap but would like to upgrade the whole suspenion and braking system and anythig else people have done from a bottom up restoration after i get it back from the chassis swap and could you also advise on whether to keep the bogue self levelling system or can i get rid of it as i dont expect to be carrying anything heavy in future.
Thanks for any advise or consideration folks.

Don't upgrade the suspension or brakes. Standard is perfectly fine. Keep it original. :cool:
Good luck with the rebuild. Or, if you're keeping it original, good luck with the restoration. :)
 
As above, just fit all new suspension parts and brakes. For an every day use truck it's the best but you can do away with the bogue strut [ commonly done ] and if mainly road use fit an ant roll bar.
 
If you bin the self-levelling unit you must also replace the rear springs as they are a lot softer than the non-assisted suspension.
I had a trials motor built from a shortened Range Rover chassis, I retained the self levelling unit and it worked well in extreme conditions.
