Geoff that's an impressive front bumper! Is it aluminum?

Hey Michael, yeah it is, whoever made it in Oz did a great job, looks cool too, Thanks.

 

[Michael B]

Thanks Geoff. They could probably sell those units, if they don't already. I think that's the first one I have seen like that.

Yep ,what do you want to know? Built them a few miles away from where I live.

hey mate any chance you'd happen to know if its possible to get the dimensions for the custom troopy panels, or any reference material for me to work off of.

Any idea is this is an Arkana build or some other weird body? I know its an HJ45 on the placard and it’s from Queensland. Otherwise, I was curious about some of your knowledge here

Arkana was in Perth Western Australia. There are companies in all states doing this work. But Arkana was big and they may have sent them to other states.

I used to own this truck a few years ago and built it. It is not an arkana, but simply a home built extracab imported from Australia. I tried to buy it back, but the owner never got back to me?

what was their full name?
was it:
1) Arkana Motor Body Builders
2) Arkana Bus & Body Conversions
3) Arkana Conversions

Old question that I never seen. They probably had a few businesses with different names

I may reach out, I got his business card. I’m debating it. Did you swap the motor out or was that after you? Fuel tank you? Front shaft was not connected and May have been modified, rear springs had some extra shims welded int as well.
Nonetheless super interesting vehicle
