Coming together well, nice work, good price too.

Car licence will do lad as its well under 3.5 ton and will be even with a car on it.

thanks for the comments, i think the price is fair for it

my mate gave 2200 for a very similar one in the north a good few months ago and it needed test and clearing so im hoping this sells or I will put some money into doing the cab and keep it myself for a while

it should only weigh 2000-2100kg im hoping as its a pretty light body compared with some. they are clamping down big time on overweight lately and its only going to get stricter

bought the spring loaded bolts for the lights today and rust proof primer..



also fitted the rear rails which ad support to the beaver







loading angle is very good, the lowest part of the truck is almost the bed, having the lights on top gives you that extra bit and doesn't risk smashing the lights off the ground on hills or entrances etc

I took the body off last night and done 95% of the welding underneath.





Today i will finish the welding and fingers crossed get at least 3 coats of primer on the body ready for finish coat tomorrow

few coats of primer and 2 coats of top paint on it now, got to do a final black coat later on today hopefully, and get the body back on the truck tomorrow then all going well
