it looks better without the tub setup, checkerplate the chassis along with tyre guards and have some led taillights and be done with it

Gidday mate

I was watching that ute on ebay too. Was busy and did not bid! I have a 521 and 620 I am doing up. My 620 has a wickedly good condition tub, virtually rust free which are hard to get. Do you know where any other tubs are for my 521 project?

Hey, i removed a tub from another 620 and all the bolts sheered off that too!

You can use "easy outs". You drill with centre of the bolt/screw then knock them in and twist them out.

Do you need any more parts?

I will see what's lying around. I definitely have a spare set of wheels for a 620. I also have 4 original caps but mine will be ole school so will keep them myself.

Here are my current projects. I am also doing an 87 ford meteor Ghia.

I also have a Camira I'm doing up for my bro and a dato 520 for parts but is nearly complete.

Just made a custom F100 ute trailer but need to do body of tub. Made this from scratch myself with all new parts, except body and taillights.

lowered the back 2", remounted the tub forward and dropped the rear guards 4"....currently working on a new pair of steps to cover the front chassis rail/tub mounting points and high filling were the guards used to be.
