help with ute tray

Post by holdenutechick »

hey there guys the ute is waiting at the panel beaters to be started in the new year I know its been waiting a while but the quality for the cost isn't bad just waiting in the queue is annoying as I don't like sitting around being idle I decided to start enquiries about the rear tub, as you will know when we got her it was fitted with a piece of checker plate in the back so I have nothing of the original wood flooring nor the strips nor the shockie inspection pieces Daniel wants to keep the checker plate but I don't think that would score very well if we put it in car shows the other things I'm wondering is the back is painted white I've seen some brown and some body colour and the last thing I don't know if is original or a repair is that the tailgate arm bar thingys (not sure what you call them) are looped through some nuts that are welded to the tailgate.

taking the above information what do I need to do to convert my ute tub back to original specs? where can I get the parts I need can the parts I need be made if so what are the dimensions?

Hi Allison :wave:

I'm sure you'll get enough people responding to this, but if not, I'll take down full details and pictures from the Croppa Ck tub when I'm back in Perth.

The ute tray is painted body colour. Usually the wooden plywood floor is painted brown. The tailgate stays fit into a proper bracket not welded nuts. Sams ute is pretty original in the tub. Maybe look up his thread.
