finally got some replacement parts for my welder, 3 sheets of steel & filled the gas bottle, now all I need is for it to stop raining so I can do something.

bought a new roll of 0.6 wire today, will get some sheet steel on saturday, what gauge is best? then start making up some patches while practicing my welding on some off cuts. hope to spend all sunday working on it..

just read your whole thread, what an inspiration, full of tips and advice will help get me moving on my traveller pickup. well done on a fantastic job, looking forward to the completion. Rich

long suffering lol, they do ask when I'm going to get it done! would like to get it done this year. then I can get a 2 dr for my son for when he starts driving in 2 yrs.

got a new tarp for it, thanks. it won't really be used to haul anything, will be more of a different pickup, panelled with some nice wood & a hard tonneau cover. I haven't seen anything like what I'd like to do so look forward to comments when done ..

Hi Jonathon, thanks for those tips, because of what I have planned with the cab back I'm going to be replacing the 2 ali panels with steel ones I recovered from my saloon then put the wood back over the top, also thinking of using 1x1 box between the b pillars at waist wood level. the floors are sol...

ok thanks for that, will have to have a re think.
I'm keeping it as a pickup as thats why I bought it to start with, am going to redo the rear screen but not going the fibreglass pickup cab back route ;-)

Hi everyone, I have a '63 traveller that was previously converted to a pickup & is registered as such, alot of work has been done in the past but I'm going to strip it right down & go over every last inch, what I'd like to know is, when I remove the wood, aluminium panels and doors will I ne...
