Just it is regestered in nsw

All the 80 series spring mounts etc were cut off an origional 80 series chassis for the front,the rear was all custom due to the a frame setup.

Modifed truck did you do this conversion yourself or take it to a work shop. I was thinking about having a go at it myself if it can be engneered. Your truck looks great, how does it handle on and off road.

MUD000 is right, Daz would be the one to ask. Head over to 3rd Rock club site and check out the build up threads on "The Bucket" and Daz's 40

Plenty of pics in the Bucket's build up.
