Thread: Work on the 'ol ute tomorrow

Well I have found 4 x Bar Treads for Ol ute (6.00 x 16) and they work out to be $130 each so I am happy . This bloke reckons that they are readily available for that price so, once I find out more, I shall put the details up in this section for info.

What brand are they? That price seems a little bit expensive. Don't you want 7.00x16 tyres for the LWB? What is your speedometer calibrated at?
Aaron.

These things are a deestone brand and have been the cheapest that I have found at the moment (less freight of course). My manual states that the 86 and 107 inch series 1 runs (std) the 6.00 x 16 with the 7.00 x 16 as an option. I am happy enough with them

Ive found the old utes twin brother, trouble is its easyr to get a vehical out of afganistan than out of the yard its in.

Bugger that... I will still take a drive one day to have a look.

Looks like I have just picked up another series 1 for bits Will take a look on the weekend.

Michelle must be thrilled!

It looks like a 1957-58 109 (fully-floating rear axle), unless it has been modified in the last four decades. Rear halfshafts will not fit series 2s or 3s, and are quite hard to find. Front panels are also different to the Olute. Petrol?
I get the feeling this one will also be rebuilt later, too...

Dan.

No Dan,

I have given Michelle my word that I shall pull the things off that I need and get rid of the rest. Have a bloke interested in the holder 173 in her (I shall keep the conversion kit) but, outside of that, she's going to be in bits in a few weeks. So - its spares in the shed .... now if it was a SWB - that would be something different.

Good to here from you NT lot.
