You could turn that into a great single cab....

Ian, you are an absolute machine, considering I only dropped it off to you on Saturday (day before the cut up)
I’ll be following your thread with interest and am sure your ‘wizardry’ will work wonders with this DC project
Cheers Tom

The wiring loom is for a fuel gauge bus, and the dash wires for the gauge are original but it has a fuel tap cable in it , the fuel tank has the sender in it as well as a manual fuel tap
It has a grab handle on the dash
The taillights are oval, and look factory fitted
Maybe assembled in 62 with all the extras a 62 would have had

If original, what dates are on the speedo and fuel gauge Ian. My June 61 DC by chassis number had a fuel gauge dated 2/62, speedo dated 3/62, suggesting it was assembled many months later. Our DCs are 8 units apart by chassis number. Cheers

Fuel gauge is 3/62
Speedo is 7/62

Your DC colour looks like it is Nimbus White too. 62 only colour.

I don’t like the colour, currently I’m thinking Boronia Brown

Haha only kidding!

Not sure if I’ve asked this question to u Ian
Is this dc going to be shiny or og paint/ rat look
Just been admiring the nice patina in the front cab section there

That’s not patina mate, it’s rust
Won’t be too many panels left for OG paint
I’ll weld it all up first then think about the paint
Maybe be able to keep the inside paint

The guide must be made of plastic! Everything else has rusted away!

Feels like déjà vu, but think you might get yours done a little quicker

Trial fit of floor, seems like the last 2 I have done, about 10 mm short, this time I left about 20 mm of the rear floor

Seat pedestal is not that good, but it is a good template for making another
