Man you have been busy! That's looking awesome fair play! What blue is that? Can't tell if its a bit of a lighter shade of blue than mine.

Can't wait to see this finished! Welcome back as well!

Blimey, that is some pretty amazing work there, this is going to be one very clean and sorted truck

like the bed on the back, looks much nicer to use over the standard one

Got some more pics today, will post them later when I get home..

Yea its coming along, heres a bit of a list.

spent all day cleaning and painting the rear bed which at last has a coat of under coat. Oh and sorting out a home for my nice led floodlight on the rear top bar.

Yea hydraulic pump and ram is in and tested, ( will be able o show it working once the rear bed is on )

Fuel tank is in and all plumbed up inc pump,

Rear winch is in and wired up,

Rear brake lines are in up to the front,

Fuel lines are in,

Wiring is in to control the pump and winch from the cab, just got to connect it all up,

Got the loom in for the lights, just got to put the lights in and connect up,

The main cables are in for the winch and pump and they go to the front,

Exhaust is in and finished,

Spacers on the rear axle,

Front callipers finished just need to put them on along with the spacers,

Just a general tidy up and make it neater, I.e get rid of some cable ties for today clips ect.

Loads left to do but I'm getting there,


Oh and the colour is ford tractor blue lol, really good paint, sort of enamel, hard as nails.

I love the rear tub. Its really tidy and simple but looks the biz!

When i start mine though i'm gonna do all i can to save the original. Its in good condition inside, all ply lined. Outside its not too rusty but i just love this.

Chassis looks great. If i can i'd like to do a full strip and rebuild of mine similar to yours. I'm keeping it fairly standard though poss 31s and a definate SU conversion. Its my restoration project.

I need more photos though!!!!!

My problem was I never had a tub to begin with, couldn't be arsed to find one so I built one. I was going to get similar made but if I'm going to be loading it with logs, soil ect or whatever the machine will chuck in it, it's easier to fix lol.

Standard is ace, would have loved it, but so rare.

Understand that mate. Just to find a tub would be pretty hard.

You've done a sound job building that one. Looking forward to seeing the next set of pics.
