The rear bottom corners of the cab are Leyland Mini front wings stood on end & the roof panel's cut from the back of a Rover P6 roof. Body's from a 1950s Ford Pop saloon & the cab back's from a 1970s Morris Minor pick-up.

We've pushed the front axle a few inches further forward than normal, which gives us more room to shoe horn the Rover motor in. We'll stretch the bonnet top & sides to suit. The stainless exhaust headers will come out over the chassis rails & sweep backwards, filling the gap between front wheels & cab.
Although it sits quite low, there's still plenty of ground clearance.

Tailgate propped in place.
Indicators will fit in the ends of the pick-up top tubes. Rear lights & number plate will be in the panel under the back of the chassis.

looking good mate, nice lines and a cool stance.
I'm still working my way slowly through the cab, I want to get that all nice and solid before I start on the pickup bed etc. I will try and get some pic's later as I'm going up there to do some work on my PAV trailer.

It'll have a French door handle on the tailgate -that's about as Frenchified as it gets. Maybe it's the truck being sat in a rural setting that gives that impression? -just outside rural Basingstoke!
I know mine's not that unusual -there's lots of very similar trucks in the mags, but it's the only one I've ever built & my first "proper" hotrod build, so I can't wait to fire it up & blat off up the lane in it.
Lots of jobs are sort of half done at the moment. Everything needs properly finishing off so we can move on to the next bits. Getting there though.

Coming on nicely I see. Nice to see it in some different surroundings, instead of the garage.
