Good to see a craftsman at work.

Is that an extended chassis I spot?

Hi busty
thanks for the comments, yes it was extended by 300mm to get a slightly larger load bed and put the axle in the centre of the bed
But it’s totally transformed the ride, it drives really nice
Take care

Hi Keithy
Yes we all different, but want the same at the end and that’s a nice result, something we can be proud of and enjoy.
That’s some nice and fancy work you done there mate, and love the colour as well
Are you posting more pictures as you go along
Take care
The doc

Hi lambert
Thanks for the comments, I have done 2 of these pickups now and made both of then with removable sides.
It does give you the ability to work the trucks in many ways.
Stay safe

You did a fantastic job getting that chassis looking like new! What a result!

Sent you a quick PM, Jimny Dr.
