Flat beds are not very popular in this part of the world,but I've seen a couple of nice pics of some!For a work truck,that would be the way to go,Thanx for the idea!!

Some flatbed pics I found

This flatbed idea is getting to me!

I got my tyres

I bought these in SA over the weekend.I paid R2300-00 after disc.The ZAR/U$ is now 7:1.I thus paid US$ 328 a piece.Their retail price is about ZAR 3000 @.Then I paid 16.5 % Import duties on the Namibian border!!I can't wait to put them on the rims tomorow!!

Dash!

The 75 shell did not have any meters in it so I decided to modify the 62 dash into it!I did this today,and I'm quite satisfied with the outcome,albeit not finished yet!!

I never take a flat bed option .. not my style, but there are some that really like it, and I thought for a toy ( trail rig ) was nice ..

I got some work done this week!The dash came out fine,the rear end of the chassis cut off for the new rear bumper.
I tried the new tires out to see were it rubs,so I can shave the panels a bit!,It seems to be not so much as I thought!

What are the details with licensing such a creation over there? Do you have to have an inspection? In the picture I am sure things aren't fully done but are you going to have more space between the bed and cab to account for frame/body flex in the bush? Nice project!

 

[Radd Cruisers]

Man you guys are on fire, that thing looks awsome......


Now thats a fast build.

 

[Tapage]

this wheel look rocks !!!

 

[brayn]

Thanx for the comments!
Here you just register the vehicle as a build-up!Yes they do an inspection like any other ,to make sure the vehicle is roadworthy!
Hank,I took closer look and saw the wheel arch does not line up with centre of the diff, I put up the bed to much to the front.I'll move it back some 20 mm to line up!.I did some cutting to the bed arch as well,to get some clearance!Pics uploading....

Cuts on the bed to get some clearance.
