Phil,

The vehicle Steve has for sale, is a real oddity . Ford here normally built the typical Aussie utility cars , with a cab and rear body built as one unit - the Army here were issued many of these UTES , basically a civvy vehicle .

But for some reason they also assembled a batch of these separate cab / body US style pickups . But the rear body tub is totally different to a US pickup, it is wider I believe .
