Fitted the ute body today on S I

[Tank]

With the help of Allan (VNX 205) today I removed the bent drag links and fitted a couple of spares to the front, then chopped the u-bolts holding what was left of the old wood tray and lifted it off.
Then undone a number of bolts and removed the handmade cabin/roof, bloody heavy, it's made of steel tubing, angle iron and about 1/8th" steel plate.
Lifted the alloy tub on and lined it up with all the bolt holes, looks horny with the doors off, will measure up and see if the roof and side panels I have are going to fit.
Will then pull it down, straighten any bent bits and tidy up then rebuild it, see pics, Regards Frank.
