    F500 ramp truck updates

    You might have seen it in the gasser mag. Well I've started build the bed. Phase one is done all cut and ready to stick together. Name:  20240318_135830.jpeg

    Nice one, thats a whole heap of welding there!
    Thanks for showing us what you're doing.
    I may live in East London, I may have a number plate that reads "Chopt",
    but I do NOT use 6" wheel spacers!

    Well, guys, better update. Due to Tom looking to have the Dorset ready for the hrd, it put the pressure on me.. anyway, it's been all systems go recently. I can say. The main steel work on the bed is done. I've had the ali sheets on and the winch..just got to do the side cupboards now. All that's left to do is.
    Fit the screen.
    Make exhaust.
    Wire it up as I've been let down, unfortunately.
    Fit the ali floor and winch.
