Body swap

[tommy1997]

Hi guys, I've got an 05 d22 ZD30 dual cab that has a fist size rust hole in the passenger floor from side steps. I'm thinking it might be cheaper to do a body swap rather than fix it as the chassis is still good, does anyone know roughly how much a cab goes for? Doesn't have to be pretty

Fist-sized is nothing major. If you clean up the edge, cut a piece of steel sheet to fit and MIG weld it into place you'll probably spend a lot less coin and time in the long run.

Otherwise it might be a case of calling wrecking yards to see what they have, and trolling through Gumtree looking for the same model that might have, say, an engine or driveline fault.
