Sure have. The new Canter didn't have aircon but it does now, retro fitted from the old one. And it's cool too. Had to change over a fair bit of wiring to make it all work.
Tray has been removed again, striped the old tool boxes and guards from it and am about to clean and paint the under side before refitting. Then it will get new guards.

At this stage it will be u-bolted back to the chassis rail as it was. It has timber runners between tray and chassis. The camper boxes will be mounted to the tray (not hard bolted) and will not really be removed. Spring mounts will be looked at when it finally gets it's full camper build.

More work has been done to the truck. My brother from Townsville came to visit my 2 brothers in Gladstone for a week. So last weekend I picked up my eldest sister from Gympie and we headed up there. A bit of a family get-together.
Dan had prepared the bottom of the tray for painting and I set John to work. He painted the underside of the tray and then helped me do a few other things.
The winch cradles, with the recovery points, winches and all the wiring have been transferred from the old truck to the new.
The tray is still to be fitted and top cleaned up and painted.

Another weekend. More work.
We got up to their place late afternoon and the sister-in-law was complaining about having to lay under my truck that morning and I asked why, but the subject changed and I forgot about it. Next day, Dan says to look underneath and to my surprise they fitted a water tank under the tray. Nice work.
Dan made up new U bolts to fix the tray to the chassis. He has been pretty busy on it. We managed to get a couple coats of paint on the tray before it rained. It is looking very bright. Can’t wait to get it dirty.
The tray is too long and has to shortened.
We fitted the inner front guards back on and changed the tyres from the old truck to this one. Now, it is starting to look good. I love Alan’s rims.

Now to finish this project so Dan can start on some more surprises. :Wow1:
Wait for it.
New gauges for boost and EGT fitted into the dash.
Dan had to make up new guards for the rear wheels. He did a really good job. The tyres were borderline with the edge of the tray.
While he was busy with rear guards he also made up the front flares.
With the tray shortened and guards on, it was ready for painting.
The rear lights are fitted.
Now to get modification plates, a safety certificate and registration.
