Going to attempt this one over winter as never done a truck before so it will be a new learning curve and with a few truck builds going on hope to pick up a few pointers. Also going to add the matchbox/amt city transporter, that I have had for a good 20 or so years, to it as I was waiting for a dodge L-700 to come my way but been unable to source one here in australia. Hope to start within the next week or so with one. Cheers and thanks for looking

This should be a nice rig. Care with the basics and you'll be right. Just enjoy!👍

Join in the fun Dale although know nothing about rigs thought that if I give it a go while everyone else is, if I come unstuck more than enough people here to ask for help. And yes winter nearly here so something to work on on those miserable days.

I reckon nothing is set in stone so as long as the diffs are facing the front and the sump points down it's all good. Keen to see where this goes.

Are you converting this to right hand drive or just OOB?
