G'day Mudders,
I thought it was high time I started a thread about my own project. Actually, it a very cold and wet night in southern Australia, so I have the perfect excuse for not heading down to the shed.
The truck is a Land Cruiser tray, or cab chassis as they are often called in Australia. I think the reason was that when you purchased these trucks from Toyota, you got the cab and a bare-bones chassis. You would then have head off to a local company who would manufacture the flat bed tray to your specifications.
Specifically, it 1984 model HJ47. The attached image is probably the earliest I can find and was taken shortly after I got it home in 2014.
The truck has been nick named, Mario. He is still a long way from hitting the road. But I'll do my best to try and document his resurrection.
