Re: INFO
Thats the old Dobbin engineering ute. 2002ish. Glenn built his own portals, coil overs with hydro lift, hydro steer n winch. Had a 400ci Chev from memory.
I don't remember much more.
Sadly Glenn has passed away and the truck was wrecked out years ago.

Re: INFO
Thats the late Glen Dobbin's truck! Didn't know it still existed!
It was a pretty much custom everything by Glen. He made his own portal axles using 9inch centres. All the suspension was his own design. His was the 1st of the Hydro suspension along with Pete A in his 40

Re: INFO
The Guy who owns it bought some parts for it about a month ago though my work.
Re: INFO
Yeah there was a build thread on here by a member that said they bought the ex dobinson cab for his build. Not sure if it the same cab though...
Be good to see some recent pics of the truck if it's still alive, it's a masterpeice.
