Default Great Work - Love the drop side body

Hi Tony

Great Work, how is the truck driving now that you have a some miles on it? The Australian drop side body sure added versatility to the truck so much easier to load than the standard cargo bodies what surprises me is how long it was before this was adopted by other countries.

I'm really curious how warm does the cab get on the Ford version?

Keep the great work and enjoy seeing your progress.

Cheers Phil

Default Very nice work Tony

For some reason your pictures are coming out very small and when enlarged get fuzzy fast.

any chance you can resubmit without resizing so much.... I must be getting old and need to enlarge full screen to really take in the details. I am also interested in the info requested by Phil....... not many cab 11/12 being driven on the road these days.

Thanks

Bob C

Default Thanks fella's

Thanks for the kind words chaps...

Phil, the cab does get very hot - good with the windscreen up but being such a heavy thing (the windscreen) it is hard on the supports which hold it in place. I can see why the 13 went to the split windscreen.

The truck seems to be very tolerant of warm temps to a point.... anything under about 30 degrees celsius (outside air temp)... after that, it gets bloody hot. How does the Chevy go?

I may have stumbled across some very good stuff to put on the engine covers - more on that when I get to it (could be a few months).

Alex, with regard to tailgate, watch this space...

Bob, apologies about the photo's. They are taken with my mobile phone so they are a crappy quality to begin with.

Question.... Does anyone have any photos of the drop side hinge in front of the wheel arch box - would like to know if it is welded to the box or the tray? It is in a cow of a position...

What the heck, lets have another look
