Hello noddy, I own a 130 king cab but I am not up to speed on their history. I understand they were built in Qld, but not in large numbers.Although they are only about 150 mm longer in the cabin than a standard cab, it is very comfortable for a taller guy like me.The seats are about 50mm further back which helps legroom enormously and lets me get back from the wheel to a nice position for long distance driving.The doors rattle a lot, probably because there is no support under the door lock pillar and the doors appear to move up and down in the opening. There is no play in the hinges so there must be movement in the cabin itself. I am in the process of reinforcing the cabin floor to see if that sorts it out.Cheers.

There's one around the corner from where I live.

G'day Folks

From memory they are 127's that predated the 130, and they were done at Pressed Metal Corp. from memory, most went to Govt Depts but there were a number that were sold through the dealers,

saw one the other weekend in Caboolture that was converted to a 300 tdi Auto for the owner that has a slight disability. nice looking vehicle.

cheers

I saw my first in Cooma at the 50th Anniversary (where I first saw OLR's bloodbox).
