The last 3 pics are of two GQ tray-back utes that kick around on the NZ winch challenge circuit.

too easy mate. just don't make it too heavy. a lot of the fellas make the rear tail gate weigh nearly 100kgs. keep it light or you are wasting your time.
cheers mate

It might not hurt to take a good look at an MQ SWB body... if only for ideas, but quite possibly for parts. You could probably do it carefully in a way that would let you use an MQ canopy easily.
