Hey Brett
I'm pretty sure it is just height as Blacky said but I could check for you if you need mate.

No need to look, but many thanks Neil. I've got everything here too- just preparatory thinking now. I haven't got the tape out yet, but will do soon. 😀.

Bit of a cleanout and poke around on Fred. Underneath pics to come. Pretty gruesome but worth doing I reckonImage. ImageImageImageImageImageImage

Does anyone need a N bonnet letter that has a good quality L or H to swap? Fred needs some letters after his name.

Coupla floor pans and a bit of patching, no worries.

Its probably the reason most do custom work to utes !!! Cut it out and throw it out, replace all the main members then custom make the floor and done !!!

Oh, and a nice V type engine to boot.

Ha, no Fred's grey motor is ready sitting in the shed Greg. There will be a nice floor shift to go with the crash box. I reckon there will be a fair bit of crossmember fabrication on this one.
Stephen, I am not clever enough to come back with a clever retort. Lockdown fuzzy brain I think.

Sorry can't help mate. Got 4 Ns, one good L, one H. Have an L you can have but missing a pin and pitted. If you don't turn anything up. Should be visiting Dud soon.ImageImage

Thanks Clay, I've got pinless L and H so if nothing turns up will look at glueing something on. Time is on my side😀

There must have been a good reason at the time, but welding on the kframe wings to the firewall certainly adds a layer of extra fun- both sides. Very neat welding thoughImageImageImage

A bit of dismantling on Fred. Rust is so confusing. K frame is rusted on the wings but pretty much ok everywhere else???
Plenum going to be a bit nasty on this one.
Fortunately there is no shortage of cuts to fix the firewall and k frame so not as serious as it might be.

Keeping my other complete kframe for the Black Ute, "Barney". Kate has taken a liking to Flintstone names. There will not be a Betty!
