Hello all, in conjunction to a earlier post this week about replacing chassis parts I need to change direction. I really don't need parts I need a chassis. I've look around before and I think I want the Marshland for it's being closest original.
During the process of a chassis exchange does most everyone reuse existing components or start off fresh.
If my thinking is wrong about the chassis, please advise

When I re chassis'ed Noel, I used a Richards chassis ()
And replaced all bushes, engine and gearbox mounts , brake pipes, clips/brackets etc with new.

Richards chassis I think.
Reuse what you can as many aftermarket parts are poor.

Both the Richards and Marshland are available to me in the US pretty close to home.
Why would I choose one over the other?

Technically I could buy other nameless brand semi locally. A few hundred dollars cheaper but I'm not really interested, too afraid of poor workmanship.

I think Marshland were the JLR OEM.
So there is that. Both are good enough.

Which is cheaper and available soonest?

When I did mine I replaced as much as I could as most of the fittings were seized and/or shagged

Did all the brake pipes too
