just re-read this and had a dick moment, i meant an 82 L200 not a 92 Triton.
not sure what i was thinking at the time. looking at a L200 on gumtree to put the modified power steer/nissan front end into.

lost motivation on the scorpion and need a ute more than a track car

L200 is a completely different animal to a Scorpion, L200 is not a strut-type front end so nothing that fits a Scorp will fit a L200

hmm ok, cheers. i knew tritons were, but thought l200's were based on sigma wagons.

the scorp lives to sit in the garage a little longer, i bought a cheap AU falcon traytop instead.
going to put in a BA engine (its original engine threw a rod) and probably turbo it later down the track.

Can you tell me what panels are interchangeable?

Basically the whole front...so lights, bumpers, grille, bonnet, guards etc.....although some basic mods maybe be needed, I can't imagine it too different from one another............I put a scorpion front on a sigma wagon by converting panels over in a similar fashion
