I did the brake light, got it at the nsra swap meet at essex two for a tenner....bargain! Loadsa layers of paint to get to the bare metal but thats not necessarily a bad thing.

Nice work, not the first time i've seen one of those Chevy lights used as a central brake light, they suit the job very well Smile

Hadn't noticed until it was in but ye ive seen a couple with the same light. Therer isn't any major custom touches really (certainly not like that awesome chevy in canada) just odd bits like this:

The beds 4" wider than stock, I reckon it's cos the bloke who installed the jag axle thought it easier than shortening the axles, all he did to widen the tailgate was bang two bits of 2" box section on the end.....a bit untidy i thought so I bent these bits up and welded 'em in.

Oh and this, apart from ditching the chains see how the bottom of the side panel pillars are cut square and open, I made up some bits and welded in to round them off and close em up, I thought look kinda kool.
