Cheers mate.It was around Ł7000 including shipping which aint to bad.To buy one in this country with this spec would be Ł10,000+ in the condition this truck was in.You can buy them in this country for upwards of Ł5000 but they wont be v8 which is what i wanted.By the time you get all the bits to make it a v8 it will be past Ł10000

Started feeding new wiring kit through to the front end.Also connected wiring to the gauges and steering column ect.Made a bracket to hold the fuse box under the dash.Once wiring is fitted and everything works i will get some armoured covering on it and secure it.I dont want any wires on show and i dont want anything bolted to the bulkhead so everything that was bolted to the bulkhead before now has to have new mounts made up and secured elsewhere.New heater fitted.

Put the new rear bed together for a trial fit,all is good.
The rear panel has a lower skirt fitted but needed taking off and starting
again which is what i done and then filled it.

Got the rear bed primed over the weekend.
Also fed the wiring along the chassis to the rear
and under the wing to the front and along the rad carrier.
