Thanks guys. I brought two trucks from palmerston north years ago. The two trucks were so far gone that i had to make a serious decision. They were so in complete that you couldnt even make half a truck out of all the parts that i had. So I striped the chassis down to 26 pieces.(that means grinding all the rivets off) and making new crossmembers. This truck has a 250cu inch 6cyl Chev engine with a SM420 gearbox from a gamagoat. And a two speed tranfercase from the larger chev truck with air operated shift on the dash. It also has an air compressor and a 10,000 pound garwood winch under the tray facing the rear. I have made everything myself, the tray and even all the panels in the nose. I made press tools to make the side vent panels. they were the hardest. As for the glovebox. No it isnt original. It has enough room for a camera and your wallet and houses my air gauge and tachometer, beacause there isnt enough room on the drivers side. These arent the latest photos. I will put more new ones on here in acouple of weeks, and some of the earlier building ones.
