60s conversion is a peace of piss
only downside is clearance but i shaved the craper out of the diffs anyhow
you dont have too worry bout wheelspacer or flipped rims plus the cheap as
and you can run up to a 37" tyre leagally and whatever horse power you want without fear of brakage
brake lies basically bolt up and driveshaft flanges just have to be redrilled

mate curious on what size tube you have used for the tray as am doing the same on mine and dont want it to be too thick for looks and weight
used 50 mm OD steam pipe on rocky but think this would be too thick for sierra

cheers

thanks jake
looks like i will be investing in the local steel industry
cant quite see how you have attached the tray to the chassis as i was thinking i'll be making raisers out of box and bolt on
makes it easy to do swap between on road and offroad trays
