ill need a body for my ute and since the odds of finding one are against me, i will most likely cut up a swb when im ready for it :twisted:
can people post pics of any chop jobs they have seen or done? what materials did you use, cost if any, any problems with rego or engineering?

cheers andrew

I can't really help you but I do like the quote in your sig line... :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

If you do cut a swb tub make sure you fill in the little bit of the rear wheel arch that gets left behind when chopped, I think that's why some don't look right?

yes that's correct Damo. It's still for sale.

BUT, because you're starting with a ute cab, if you used my tub, you'd still have to get a windscreen surround, B pillar and support brackets., and maybe some other stuff to complete the change over.
