Thanks Mike, I’m more than happy with the way it has turned out, given I have never tried anything like this before.
Am doing up the brake system on the truck at the moment. Have put a new kit into the master cylinder (which had 1¼” stamped on it but had been resized with a sleeve to 1”, quite new). The front and back brake cylinders are two different models Front has 2 S 231 stamped on it, not original I think, and back Delco 5450072 that are original as per part book. Both are 1 3/8 cups. The handbrake cable on the passenger side was hooked to nothing. The picture below is of the handbrake assembly for the drivers side. Anyone have any ideas on where I should be looking for the parts I need for the passenger side handbrake? Mick

Deck
My tail lights and front indicators arrived and have been mounted. Finished the floor boards in the tray today as well. They look quite ‘polished’ only because I brushed them over with a couple of coats of Linseed oil and Kero mixed 50/50. The shine goes once it dries out a bit.

It Lives!!!!
Still have a few ‘butterflies’ to sort out with it yet, but the truck went on its first ‘field’ trip today. All of 600 yards from home to the show ground. (speedo works)
The pictures you see here today are the results of seven months restoration with no chasing wild women or wild benders at the pub!.........A chap at the show ground, who has several restorations, asked what I am going to do next and have I got the ‘bug’. I had to answerer honestly “the next thing I do up will be a antique wheelbarrow I’m so over it!”  Will make the canopy hoops frame and tarp down the track.plus look for a lend lease chev to do, hehe.

Congratulations Mick. Seven months well spent. Great finish and attention to detail. Now clock up lots of miles on those nice looking tyres.
Cheers, Terry

I recon that when you do that wheel barrow, it'll look great too!
Nice job of a neat little truck! I have enjoyed following your posts. Thanks.
