Those high-top Truckman tops really are hideous, it looks so much better without it.

The alpine light is in the same place as normal, but the second row of seats has been moved back 17inches. They are more practical where they are as do not carry anyone in the load area. 80" 1948

I love the look of 130 DC-HCPU's with just the canopy over the back.

Love the truck just, I'd have to keep it as a pickup though.

Replaced crossmember with a 3mm galvanised one this afternoon.
Hopefully will wire brush it all tomorrow, get some kurust on areas that need it and then change a frame bushes. Got to be easier with the tub off. Cheers James 110 2010 XS Utility 130 2011 M57 bespoke Camper 90 2010 Hardtop 90 M57 1988 Hardtop |

Tow bar on, have ditched 130 one and gone for std setup on grounds will just need to reach further in to hitch and watch bodywork angles on corners. Also wire brushed the chassis and removed a frame for set of superpro top bushes. Its only an 11plate and had to cut the bolts out!

So easily done, a disappointingly rubbish component! Remember the good old days when metal fuel pipes with screwed unions were used? |
