45 series Styleside Tub?

Post by Mattydub »

Did we ever get styleside tubs here in Aus like the US? Also does anyone know if you could cut the body tub from a lwb troopy(45) near the rear and use this as the base for a tub? Cheers guys

If the price of a genuine ones blows out, making up one out of some new sheet would be easy enough.

something like this.

I guess this is similar to look your after if using the back of a troopy.

There's a thread on ih8mud where a bloke is building up styleside tubs from scratch, gee it's a lot of work.

I'd love to shove one onto my 45, but I can belt up the tray that's on there and not really care.

They are for the MWB 45's there was one of those like the light blue one on ebay a while ago but very very rare in aus a fair few in U.S like that with the rounder shape mainly aus got the LWB 45 with the square style tubs look heaps better close looking to the 75 series tubs
