Took a few pics of Stumpy today, finally got the tray on and the back welded in properly, had to put in a lexan rear window as the glass one wouldn't quite fit..the previous owner had dodgily tacked the back into place and it was a bit tight for the glass :-\...being an ex camper I was worried about rego but my roady guy assures me as its a cab chassis it is no problem...She's running a warm 253 and as its the sound I am after and not the punch that's fine by me. I will however change the single exhaust for a dual as that will sound better still. There are a pair of Valiant seats in at the moment that will be swapped with the original shortys out of our camper, the Val seats are comfy but are too high and hit the rear window, so will be better in the Hi-Top. I build bikes so this will mainly be used to haul those, the tray suits perfectly and will fit more than my WB ute. Not a fan of Fords so the next best thing to an F truck is this baby. I love my truck and can't wait to get it on the road, no show stopper as I use my stuff, not just for ornamental purposes!! In saying that plans are for a bright red paintjob done by me and an interior refit...maybe modify the tray later. I don't do nut n bolt rebuilds on cars for various reasons (the least not being lack of patience- I wanna drive 'em!!)

Super/stupid light mate. Was worse with no tray on it that's for sure. Traction can be a bit of an issue, especially on grass!!
