Straightening tub out

14months, lots of elbow grease and many new parts. The end result. Sorry about the quality of some of these pics, my camera was having fits.

Warn 9000lb winch, Modified 60s tow bar and is also set up as a tipper. just needs hydraulics

And that's her
Thanx for looking hope you like it

Looks good,great to see another one on the road again

 

[uted]

Thanx for the comments guys Was a bit of a labor of love this cruiser was built in memory of the owners brother, and friend of mine who passed away not long before starting the build. hence the black paint and many of the parts came from his stockpile.

And for you Deny

The ute. converted troopie

One on trailer you can see in first pic is my wagon about to be taken out and put in storage for awile

Other cruiser you can see beside shed is just a wreck and used to store parts in

Good job!
You have heaps of 40 series.

I have seen this cruiser in person and looks even better in the flesh.

Mate you need to put up some pics of leftovers too, I know the build is on hold but is a work of art.

Thanx Dan.
will see if i can find a couple of suitable pics of the shorty. In the mean time here is one of the background cruisers i forgot to add the other day. 1977 ex Telecom Aus ute. was a petrol but has had a H series diesel fitted at some stage.

And i picked this one up on the weekend for a hundred dollars 1964 model. Am stripping this one for parts.

A while back I'm sure there was a thread on here somewhere discussing whether the chassis on long wheel base 64 models had been extended by the factory.
I can tell you that this one has. has a big fish plate each side on outside of chassis but the inner chassis boxing looks to be the same as later cruiser chassis. I will put up some pics of the chassis later. need to clean up the modified section first so you will be able to see it properly

Your are a true 40s lover!

 

[uted]

Cheers mate The wife has a very different opinion. She reckons i'm mad bringing all these old rust buckets home

Much trouble installing the wjole 75 series engine and gearbox in? What bellhousing you use?

 

[uted]

No not really.
Used the engine mount brackets that bolts to block from hj47. The alloy 75 bell housing. just had to slot the holes in the 47 cross member to allow the gearbox mount to slide over a bit further.
Had to cut a small section (about an inch square) out of the lip where the gearbox tunnel plate bolts, to clear a bolt on the top of the gear box. Modified the shifters, but that was more of a personal preference thing, to get them in a nice comfortable to use position. And the tail shafts were altered to suit

Wouldn,t call it a work of art. But has certainly taken some work.
