Re: My British Truck build







Nearly there





Finished!



I also found a big fat sway bar for the front as the truck left the Fremont factory without one and gave it a cleanup, some paint and fitted it with a set of new bushings and raised brackets from ECE





I've also managed to find a period fibreglass truck cap to go on the back on UK ebay. It had spent about ten years sat on top of a shed next to the coast in western scotland. One 500 mile round trip in my bother-in-laws work truck and it was home in a bit of a sorry state.



after a clean



Tailgate needs some work so its off and in the workshop



The wood rail underneath that it sits on is rotten





Thats all now been ripped out, the area cleaned up and new timber sourced and cut to shape. Next job is to get some epoxy fibreglass resin and glass the new timber in and then finish off the tailgate and mount it up on the truck. Its getting done between work on the truck.
