130 pic up truck

[Arlo]

Here's the problem:

The Nato hook doesn't open to the full 90°, so the only way to hook the draught eye in is from underneath and twist the hook 180°.
This is not a comfortable job.
The tub has to be shortened to the rear cross member!

That was the plan.

Only some hours to get it from this

to this:

A rear body from a 110 reduced to this...

prepreparated at a Sankey WT chassis...

matched the rear...

... almost perfectly! :wings:

Well, there had to be a lot of rivets to be done...

Mel is amused about it.

Me too.

And it's still on duty!

Questions about the Sankeys are to be asked somewhere else. Go ahead. Please. Just do it! :elkgrin:

nice.

how does that hook allow movement in rough terrain?

also,beer gets things done

 

[Arlo]

The hook is designed for rough terrain.

Are you afraid about a beer afterwards?

[Rovertrader]

Very well done!!
I have a 130 with a cube on the back, which i do not care for, and a spare 110 Hicap tub. I have yet to start on the tub as I was a bit unsure which way to proceed, and concerned about the relatively short bed. Had not considered going vertical on the sides- thanks for some creative possibilities, and again- very nice work!!
Cheers

Very nice. Did you form the panels yourself? I didn't see it in the pics, but i assume there is a front bulkhead of the bed?

What are these?
