That's unusual -certainly at our end of the planet anyway. I like it though. Do you guys have a lot of those kind of mix n match pick-ups -"utes", down there?

the 70's holden chassis usually gets used on a 50's ford to lower it. but mixing all that up is the product of my dangerous mind.
i can get the chassis and the cab for free with effort and fab the step side up meself (i hope)
heres another (yank one) need gaurds in west oz

love that chev/hilux  ;D ;D here in the UK its a cool and quick way to build a rod. You use a running chassis from a pickup and fit your body of choice. Letter to DVLA and a quick inspection and bobs your dads brother  ;D ;D ;D
