Here's the bed of my LWB, sans headache rack which is off for paint. That what you wanted to see?

Here are the dimensions, from the LPB special service bulletin, of both the LWB and SWB.

Wondered if anyone would notice! Since the truck was built before they invented compounds, I thought it would be appropriate.

Thanks Dave
What do you reckon the best way for me to get one would be.Was thinking of having one made but probably too much work in it

 

[IDave]

I dunno. Expect they are more common on your side of the planet than over here. Search the junkyards, advertise, look to import one from Oz?

Wonder why they don't put the floor ribs in there? Seems like it would be easy enough, unless the only tool they use is a break.

Now the panama one looks a lot more realistic! Seems like you could go ahead and stamp Toyota in it if you have gone to that much trouble. Hey, do you have any photos of it under construction? I'm curious to see what kind of machines you use.

 

[lomusass]

quick one.. the tie down hooks are hard for me to get I fab these ..but I can get them if you really need them..that is the ONLY difference..Also we use 4 hinges in the SA model (stock ..thks Pimp) .

tubs

The Tailgates do have Toyota on them ..you can not tell the difference.

OK This one doesn`t have Toyota on it ..but the new ones do.

Curious. Many of us have beds in our 45s that are still decent, but have floors that have been majorly abused by PO [previous owners]. Would you be interested in fabricating and selling just the floor panels for the 45 lwb pickups?

floors for 45

Mark .
Maybe...If there was a large enough order and shipping was going to the same place.
