Styleside, long-bed, wellbody pickup tray

[koxfarm]

many mames meaning the same.. this well sought after tail-piece. I will join this club soon with an 84' HJ47 and a tray that came off yesterday of this beauty of 67' FJ45.

After all the receiver should also be introduced not only the donor ..

My plan is the usual drill.. meticulous assessment, disassembly, sandblasting, epoxy etch priming, panel work, prep., paint and assembling. E N J O Y
ah - and as always, all vendors, and shops helping the process are listed for the purpose of their referral business.

Good question.. I think not. The cab is in good nick similar to the tray but it will be better on the late model HJ47.
Not sure about the head.. probably keep it .. or not .. not really sure yet.

Bed is latter than the truck, 67 would have 3 hinge, yours is 4, not sure when it changed.

Maybe.. not perfectly sure either.
Anyway, what I love about this tray is that its made of 2.5mm (!) steel. No wonder it has minimal rust .. like a tank

Managed to find (rescue from another tray back) a pair of genuine tail light set and the flat reflectors that got totally preserved. Not only the screw back but also the little drive studs remained intact. They will fit the tray perfectly.
Would that reflector style help identifying the real age here?
