All depends on what sort of finish you want.. if its a comp truck, or something that looks factory?

Havent seen Smithys, or PGS, but some that I saw at Wandin were real dodge by unknown people. Some dont even have back windows/walls!

As BRT says, Greg does good stuff from people I spoke to.

Theres also a bloke at Romsey doing them that does a 'factory' looking conversion.. fully engineered, painted up and very tidy..

Mate not wanting a comp truck, I want a nice looking job from a reputable bloke or I would be happy to buy plans that satisfy an engineer if anyone can help with that

Kris Richter at KJ's offroad in Geelong has done a couple, I saw an 80 series in there about a month ago and it looked like a good job, and I've heard he does a pretty good price on it too, maybe worth talking to him also.

Theres some photos of ours under the general heading. Theres no doubt the rear of the cab looks ace with the big rolled corners and using the origional wagon back and bringing it up an mating it on, the only issue is due to the large angle on the rear of the cab it eats up a lot of tray space. We offer both styles dpending on the needs of the client.
