Better bring this to a conclusion.
Apart form playing around with different wooden stake side finishes, sign writing and rego in a couple of weeks. I'm calling this truck done.
Some extra clearance tray lights or reflectors will no doubt be needed to pass rego.

    Looks real neat. As the tray is wider than cab you will need clearance lights, number dependent on length of tray. Vic Rhodes usually gave us a link to the relevant regulation. Good idea is to use the neat little LED ones and to put them under the tray and not on the side where they have a habit of getting wiped off or crushed by forklifts.

    That's come up neat as a pin, looking the goods
    LED lights are the go for reliability and I find there is a pretty good selection of older style LED lights to suit just about everything

    Great work

    Thanks so much everyone for your comments. Looks like a trip to HyWay truck parts before heading back to Victoria.

    Make sure the ones you buy are 12/24v. Reason is those one can be wired and are not polar sensitive. Some cheap LEDs are polar sensitive.
