I think you may have a few issues with your steering box .. I know liquid nails seemed like a good idea at the time .. I have been tempted to use it myself But sometimes you really need to use high tensile bolts

Spike - that axle has been moved back, but it's all been done with the springs. See how much of the spring is visible in front of the rear wheels? On a stock sierra an equal amount of spring will be visible fore and aft of the tyre.
I'm not convinced the chassis has been cut but I could be wrong.

your right steve. the rear was moved back using mazda springs with a custom top leaf. i believe the chassis had a minimal amount trimmed off. and yes the tray has had about a foot taken off.
i love this ute. reliable, practical and i don't think he has ever broken a thing. and best of all its still a ute. still capable of taking a wheely bin to the tip or a load of wharever for the garden.. did i say i love this ute

Yeah Steve, had another look at it and you are right. I think i am getting confused with the LWB tub chassis and the LWB ute chassi regarding the chop.
I like the look of it, I personally wouldnt have shortened the tray as it looks a little stumpy IMO. I love everthing else though. I am not a fan of flat trays without sides, it just seems to defeat the purpose, as it just means you have to tie everything down.

I agree that tray looks a bit short. It could have been a plank longer (6") without hurting capability and it would have made the car look more balanced.
