Interesting EK with a vinyl roof and LC / LJ (GTR) dash, not something you see too often!

The HQ steering box . . . got it . . . it's in the FJ. Along with an HR front crossmember. I don't think the steering connecting rod's been shortened, because it's HR also. But you'd need to pay attention to the mounting locations of the steering box and idler arm, because, if anything, the Humpy drag link is longer (idler to Pitman) than in an HR.

Oh , he told me it was all HQ , but if its HR then it might all work - but as you say it would need to be carefully done to prevent any bump steer or ackerman issues.
