Thanks mate.
I first bought the shorty back in 1996. Back then it had already had the 2F replaced with a B series diesel. I live on the South Coast ( Ulladulla ).
When I did my body lift I hung it from the rafters in the shed using some ropes. It wasn't that hard to do & I did it by myself.
Thanks mate. The indicators are narva items & they are ADR comp, but I don't think that they make them anymore. I was thinking about using some off a Pajero later on if I have to. And yeah I'm real pleased with the way the rack came out.

Depending on what work you have done will depend on which heads you need to get.
I used the Chev engine in my shorty because parts for them are easier to get & cheaper then the Holden stuff, plus the SMB Chev motor is physically smaller then the Holden motors.

Cheers croozy, (damn iPad)
Will check out the narva site, and look at the pajero lights too.
What have you done for Parker lights? Are you just running the LEDs on the bar?

Yeah mate the ones in the bar are parker light & indicators, but the indicators are hard to see in the daylight so I am looking for something else to fit int the bar.

I've finally got myself a light bar for the cruiser.
I went for a 32" bar with 60 LED's. Here's some pics & a short vid.

That is looking very good, the light bar makes a huge difference. Which bar is that and where did you get it from?

It's a 32" bar with 60 x 3watt LED's. I got it from a company here in Australia called Bright Light Auto Parts. Here's the specs on the light .

Thanks mate one day when I'm back in the country I will have to look into this. Nice truck you have there.
But doesn't the light bar shed light on your bonnet?
(If it does, my experience is that the brightly lit bonnet becomes too distracting and you'll need to install a sheetmetal shield beneath the light-bar or move it further back on the roof.)
PS. Bonnet = hood (for those who speak a different language).
PPS. And if you fit a shield beneath the lights, the next time a wind gust throws your bonnet upwards you'll get a nice imprint of the sharp forward-edge on your bonnet. (Errrr. Yes. I've been though all that.)
