Nice build Luke, is your truck still live rego?

Yep live rego! I dont think I could go through with the whole build if I had to put it through a compliance!!

 

[llukej]

Lifted the tub back off to put on some under body sealer. One step back two steps forward!!

 

[llukej]

Bed liner is on and I got the tub put back on the chassis. Time for a bit more bodywork!!

 

[llukej]

First 4 costs of primer on the tub
