No awesome idea just trying to create 2, 2a,s have three chassis
Two 2a and one 3
3 is reasonably sound ,the others one has rust bad from engine mounts forward and the other (military chassis) has sound front end but cactus rear cross member. I,m a bit hesitant to cut and shut with front end of chassis , but happy to do rear x member
As stated above numbers are numbers and salvaged number for 3 will be from remnant 2a chassis bound for tip sans numbers
thanks for input I thought everything was interchangeable and I did notice 2a chassis is more robust but rust is rust
Looking at a 1965 series 3[wink11]

Cheers Paul

I thought the series 3 was from 71? A 65 is a 2a? Not 100% sure though....

I think Land Rover put out a limited amount of 2a's on the new improved futuristic series 3 chassis as a R&D project ....you did not hear about it[bigwhistle][bigwhistle][bigwhistle] they are very rare
Nuff said me thinks[bighmmm]

VicRoads don't always know what day of the week it is so they won't pick up on the chassis details but a roadworthy tester might ? Again, I think it's unlikely.

Main difference that seems to cause minor problems is putting a SIII gearbox into a SII chassis so doesn't affect you.
Series IIa

Rest of the changes are fairly minor.

One that has a current mention in another thread is that the diameter of chassis bushes changed at Series 2a suffix H. There will be a few other differences of this sort, but nothing that can't be dealt with easily.

Yes. '65 is definitely 11a and I believe '71 is correct.

Yes but hes going to have a 65 s3, gooses! [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]🤣🤣

I think you already had the idea but if you are going to scrap a chassis, destroy the numbers on them.

With a LandRover anything is possible, Heres a 110 CSW on a Perentie Chassis with a Series 2 firewall . Don't see any padded dash here. (when I say LandRover , I mean proper LandRover which is only includes vehicles with PCD 5x165, yes I'll concede & allow in RRC & D1 )

Also LandRover Series 3 Lightweights up till 1985 have no Padded Dash & fully ADR compliant in Australia .

picture is my 1973 Series 3 but last of production in 1985 are basically identical.
