Utility Truck

[cyanide]

Made a deck out of some recycled slats and framed it with cut in half 12mm square tube.



Welded on roof and cut out rear window.



Wheel clearance



Strapping under deck, still just mocked up, will fab chassis mounts next week.



Once the deck is done it'll help me with getting an eye for the width of the steps, wheel guards etc which I should be getting to in a few weeks hopefully.

Thanks grumpygrady, it'll be OD in color.

Deck is now done





Got the steps done also.







Welded a bit of scrap rod to hold the shape of the fender on the body.



Although it has the wood deck on it now, it was made as a utility base, here is the beginings of a puner head to go on a kind of truck mounted forestry machine. A cheap 11v electric puner that should be easy enough to modify.
