Ant's 1976 B1600

Hi guys,

just thought I should post this up here too,
still i progress, should be done in the next 2 weeks in time for East Coast Cruise (ECC) in Australia in November.
Let me know what you guys think

Good looking project you have there Ant! Definitely some creative use of a dimple press. Also like the turn signals (I assume thats what they are) - have not seen that done before. I get the manual valves but where do the air cylinders go? Are they for the turn signal actuators?

very nice man. i love the rear frame work. keep us posted bro.

Nice work, it's amazing how popular the pre 84s are down there.

that looks sweet and cool idea with the turn signals man

sick ride

dude looks killer.... just one question........ what front bumper is that.. looks like a nissan but i could be wrong..

very nice build dude..

cheers guys,

I was intending on using the air actuators for retractable bump stops at the begining (gay aussie laws) but now I will be using them to raise the bed floor once it's all done.

also - yeah its a Nissan front bar - the mazda one was all messed up and looked out of place reallt, so I cut and shut the nissan Navara front bumper. Fits quite well and looks beefier too, I thought.

The turn signals are out of a Morris I think - I got them off ebay yeeaarrsss ago.
semaphores or trafficators - they were also used in the early VW's

I will be sure to keep it updated

Very nice so far.I love the VW semphore signal.Very rare lights.My one MT mag has a hardbody on the cover with those signal lights in the same location as well.Hope to see more of this truck soon.

cheers
