Tray Cut and pressed
Finished all the cutting and pressing for the tray from Mike Kelly’s plans.
Weld it up next week and on the weekend - its green. Might not look like much but its another part of the project out of the road. A – Headboard B – Tailgate D- Tailgate (upside down) sitting on back ends F - Support struts that will eventually have the strapping from the canopy bows feed into it. Took 5 sheets of 18 gauge. Just as a matter of interest - has anyone any knowledge of just how many parts/bolts/pieces went into one of these trucks?

Need Advice
In the first picture - am I correct in saying the blue line is for a T piece that houses the Oil Pressure guage sender and the oil hose to the oil filter inlet? The Red screw is where the return hose from Oil filter taps in?
The next picture - is this where the PCV line plugs in and/or does it share this hole with the windscreen wipers? Lastly - A few people have said not to bother even putting the oil filter back on as if it let a hose go etc you can imagine the problems. Whats the thoughts on that? Thanks..........Mick

Locker door hinges
Hi Mick,
I can't work out how to send pics via the private message thing. This will have to do. The original hinges were 3" I used 3 1/2"stainless steel butt hinges. Quite cheap at the local hardware store. I found some 1/4 solid rivets to attach them to the doors and used 5/16 bolts threaded into backing plates for the sill. The original ones had silly little machine screws. All my doors bar one are off the original deck. If you are stuck for the twisted link chains mine came from car tyre snow chains. (no common in your part of the world) Regards, Terry

Deck details
All our PJ decks have butt hinges welded on the locker doors.
On the deck of NZ25051 build number 891 the chains are twisted, and there are two holes for the hook. On the deck of NZ25791 build number 833 the chains have straight links and a single hole for the hook. My Ambulance deck NZ22899 Build no 087 has straight links, of a heavier guage chain and single hook holes. I think they are all standard fittings, though 25051 had RNZEME colours on the bumper, so it may have been modified/improved. (It had little details like an angle iron strengthening of the tailgate, and an angle iron frame on top of the engine cover). Rob

I have a mate who has a ‘home’ engineering works. I don’t know how he manages to do it, but he seems to have one of everything. Another semi retired guy who lives here was a tool maker by trade, and said he’d love to cut and press it up with me. Nothing like calling in every favour from everyone I know to help out. Think the town will be glad when I'm finished!
The engine I will drop into the chassis after work tomorrow. The good thing about being an Aussie doing up a Kiwi truck is if anyone tells me the colour or something isn’t quite right all I have to say “it’s a Kiwi thing”! Mike - The plans you sent me have been invaluable to this project.

Timber type?
Engine in and most of cab on. Spent the afternoon with a mate getting the tray ‘plum’ and a bit welded together. Hope to work on it more this weekend.
Any comments on what Aussie timber to use on the truck decking – ran into an old farmer in town tonight and he said some trucks had bearers of ironbark but with Apple Gum floor boards in his day. More incline to stick to all Ironbark. Any ideas?
