Hi Clay yeah not sure if it will fit length wise I’ll have to look at how much I have lost, I haven’t really had a chance to get back to work on it since I’ve been back.
I appreciate your offer however I’ve been offered one over here, I’m thinking if I had too I could modify to fit.

According g to the MPC all the FB models were introduced in January 1960. It was the EJ commercials that weren't released until 6 months after the passenger cars, as well as the HD utes being introduced 5 months after the rest. I have head of EK commercials with EJ steering box components, but I wo der if there were any made with the EJ brakes.

The first 3 digits of the trim code are a shortcut summary to the overall colours.

366 is plain Buckskin methinks but would need to check in the Holden Black Book.

Cheers,

i had a late EK ute that was painted in an EJ colour, coolest part of the car was when a door trim was removed there was a hand drawn picture in pencil on the inside of the door trim of an EJ ute

Mother finally spotted the van in the yard. I've been doing a good job hiding it with landcruisers but doesn't work so well forward parked. Took it in her stride, so now can relax in to chopping the thing up. When I get over this horrible flu. Oh, and go through the ute motor.
