Love the component picture of the front axle..... The build is coming along nicely, definitely going to have to get you to do the same to the drivetrain on my car, now that the cab looks so well. It won't be until this time next year, it will take me a while to squirrel the cash away...

Just finished all the drive train off all new oils in gearboxes and diffs.
New rear shoes on the back brakes and full front axle rebuild, bearings seals and trimmed with new discs pads and callipers, not forgetting all new lines and good-ridge hoses just bled up nicely
And 4 new tyres just arrived
We’re flying today
Have a look

Only thing I would change is the floor of the flat bed. I would have used wooden boards instead of solid metal panel. Just to make quick access from above by taking the boards out. Timber is cheap and very easy to replace and they won't rust (just rot). That's just my preference of course. Well done guys!

Hi guys thanks for the comments they are very encouraging
I think the medic could soon be promoted to chief surgeon after his sterling effort on this one.
Regards the bed It’s been made to be removed with 4 nuts and bolts then it’s off, it leaves the rear light bar on so easy access for maintenance
Many thanks and be safe
