cheers.This would be better posted in the defender section.

Have you got a complete 90 TD5? If so I'd just convert that.

Cheers I’ll ask over there and hoping to buy a gal chassis and put 110 cab on it with flat gray

Are you thinking of a truck cab, or a cab chassis?

If truck cab, it's a factory configuration, so shouldn't be hard, if you can find the parts, as truck cabs are rare in Aus

If cab chassis, the body would be doable using the rear bulkhead from a 130, but the mounts for the body and a tray probably aren't on the chassis.

If your planning on starting with a new chassis, I suspect you'll never get it registered, as it will be considered a 2025 build, and will need to comply with current regulations.

Your first port of call needs to be your state registration authority and an engineer.

i'm half heartly got a 110 single cab (cab chassis) 300 tdi for sale. has a crack in chassis and some minor rust in rear cross member and a cracked head that has caused me to pause on the restoration. it's in rough shape being a former farm ute, but perfect to pick off what you want and sell off the balance. Being a 110 cab chassis, it will give you the roof and back glass but afaik the rear bulkhead will be different to a 90 truck cab. You could potentially cut out the bulkhead from the 110 and fit it internally to the 90 panels to replicate the 90 truck cab. PM me if you are interested to talk.

Cheers mate was going to go with a new gal chassis and it would have to be engineered anyway for the lift and other mods I want to do what do you mean a 2025 build what if the cab was part of a registered Ute then I was just doing a “chassis swap”

If I was to convert it where would I source the rear bulkhead from

If you just put an old chassis number on the new chassis, you are "rebirthing" and old car this is illegal.

You need to to talk to your registration authority as to how you go about a chassis swap, I suspect it's different in each state.

If you are doing mods that will need engineering, then talk to your engineer before you start, to ensure what your doing is engineer able.

Good luck with the project.

Cheers but I didn’t mean putting the old numbers over as yes that’s illegal getting new numbers

Cheers but I didn’t mean putting the old numbers over as yes that’s illegal getting new numbersYes, but treating it as a new car with 2025 VIN means it has to comply with current vehicle design codes. One of the reasons land rover stopped making the old Defender in 2016 (or thereabouts) was difficulty getting it crash compliant. You might even need to crash test it?!
