Wow, that green one is absolutely beautiful! I agree with you about the departure angle, though- looks a bit nicer with a bit of a bum out the back. Yours is going to be really amazing when it is done, I'm sure.

I really want to make one with a factory bed, though, as I love the way they look. It is really hard to find them with the factory bed (or 'Tray' in Aussie), but I have been looking. I like the idea of keeping mine factory wheelbase, and just moving the cab back a bit. Of course, once I get started, I will change all sorts of things, I'm sure.

I love the Vortec in my HJ47, so I will likely wind up doing that to the Extra cab one day. With your tow rig, however, I think you have the power and highway end of things tied up.

Cheers,

Josh
