 One day I might actually get to sort out this project



today I cleaned out the cab and dusted off the dash - bit simpler than a ranger dash...

 Need to be a bit careful round the electrical system - it is 24 volts...

 I'm not British, but I actually knew what a lorry was. I'm sure you've heard of Thomas the Tank Engine? Those stories are actually quite educational if you let them!



EDIT: I agree with Jim, needs some LED's.  Maybe Terry knows where you can get them in 24 volt!

 one small problem with that - it doesn't have rockers :q

nothing between the wheels at all, well except for a chassis and since the axles are slung under the chassis and the wheels/tyres are 32" in diameter, I doubt I could drop it much...

maybe some nice side skirts with storage lockers in them?

Achievable by "Bagged" suspensions and modified to lay frame and convert almost ANYTHING into a driveway grader...

 the advantage of lots of room underneath is that you don't need to jack it up to fix stuff under there - believe me, jacking up a 6 ton truck is not for the faint hearted and it takes two people to change a wheel!

 LOL I like that! Saw a Chevy S10 several years ago. Had vinyl across the top of the windshield:

"Praise The Lowered"
