You know, something like this would be fantastic to do a hybrid on.
I had one of those Cummins engines in my wee DAF45 - great unit
Hi Bryan,Are you using the original rear axle?
This will be amazing when it's done. What are you going to do for a bed? Beavertail?
I love the faded hand painted sign writing on the doors
I thought that when I saw the new rims in the photos.
I would move the axle back further if you're planning on putting the likes of the Landy on there but then as you say the axles are way over rated anyway so it probably won't matter that much - just less tail swing as well.
You need to start a youtube channel!
Just noticed the faded sign writing on the doors. At the risk of repeating myself, that is begging to be lacquered over!
Awesome to see progress on it either way!
It would take a fair bit of engineering but a tilt and slide but retro bed would be in keeping with the look but give you the practicality maybe? Some old style drop sides and a wooden deck would help disguise the modern mechanism..
Incredible engineering. Fair play to you
What vehicles do these cummins engines usually come in?
Super quick work and done properly! That dash is lovely but looks difficult to reverse easily for RHD. I wonder was there an Australian version of this truck that might give you an RHD dash?
