thanks for the comments guys, we finally got the glass for the windscreen the other day. The passenger side frame was worst for wear so we decided to get it done first, and had no problem at all, moved on to the nice smooth drivers frame and .... it was 99% in, then CRACK

Thankfully its a small crack in one corner. Anyways a little bit of character is good for an old girl like a blitz.
We're not sure what tray we'll put on it, depending on whats cheaper and or easier to make we might go with a timber or steel tray, probably won't do the drop sides, but will try to keep the proper look. The frame of the truck has been cut back to the rear springs at some point so our tray probably won't end up normal length.
If anyone has some photos or info on the types of trays and the differences between canadian\australian mods, and when steel predominantly took over from timber etc that would be a great help for our decision making.
I'll try to post some photos next week too, but it'l be using the slow internet at home so bear with me.
