Upon seeing the line up of these vans I feel a little sick as I have been trying to collect enough parts to make one , where did they all go to ?
Smaller wheels to be fitted next.

Nice work Jim! Looks like you have the WO73 as opposed to the WO12 version. I had a borrowed WO12 for about a year in 1976 which had 20" wheels. With the 6.5 diffs it was a pretty good highway truck although it ran out of puff on hills somewhat. It had the cab wall removed and another added near the rear wheel arch with a long range fuel tank and passenger seat similar to a gun tractor.
I've always been fond of that shape and have a No9 FGT now.

Thanks Kieth , yes it is a WO 73 , what is the difference between the WO 12 and the 73 ?
Have been getting this ready for Lang's trip overseas and will fit the 20'' rims wth the 8.25x20 tyres and coupled to the 6.2 diff to try and obtain the best ecomony as possible.

The difference is the WO12 was 4X4 and 73 4X2.
