Thread: How many Stage1 V8s

As far as I know, no trays were made by Leyland Australia (or whatever name they went under at that stage), all were supplied locally by dealers or perhaps at state level in some cases, and often to customers specification. Most would have been steel, a few aluminium, at that stage, but it is quite possible that a wooden one is original. Particularly if you mean wooden decking and sides with a steel frame. By the time of the Stage 1 wooden frame trays would have been quite uncommon, but would still have been made. Some customers preferred wooden trays as they are a lot quieter than metal ones, despite the greater durability of metal.

Another reason that a lot of farmers liked timber floors was that drums and gear did not slip about as much and not as hot on dogs feet.
