    Yep... try that kind of stunt here and you'd end up breaking rocks for a decade :(

    We could have made it easier for Jim though. The GM Holden utility vehicles in the 70's and 80's (HQ-WB models) offered a full ch***is trayback option (referred to locally as a "one tonner ute"). Would have been a lot less sawzall work.

    If I could find one here, it would probably cost a heck of a lot more than the $500 I paid for my 4 door!

    but that's a neat looking truck.

    Got the OSB screwed down, it has a hatch for a spare tire (if it'll fit in there?). Painted it with some rustoleum, needs another coat, to try to make it slightly water resistant and not so many splinters.

    The flip side of that coin is that I share the road with vehicles that never have any form of inspection.

    That model might be just after they stopped the decals (I think), but truly deserves a Screaming Chicken on the hood :D
