I think you will find to be legal its got to have more load space in front of the axle than behind. and a toolbox mounted on to the draw bar does not count as load space. there is plenty on the road but there not legal.

Worth bugger all, How many do you want?. Most qld wreckers have heaps off them. I used to sell 4 or 5 at a time to wreckers for good $s but these days I cant find a wrecker that wants them. I find if I keep them laying around for years I might sell 1 door.

I think 93 cruiser is a cable driven speedo (not electric), if odometer is working the cable etc is ok, speedo itself may need replacing.
