What is the purpose of this ?

Post by Giovanni »

Does anyone know what the purpose of the two box sections with threaded hole on the interior of the pick up can. It can’t be for a spare wheel as it’s far too low. I have attached a picture as my description isn’t the best.

That's so close up, I couldn't picture where it is?

Found this in the Parts Book, but not found what goes on it....
It looks different to what you have though :-?

Thanks for your replies so far, it would be good to know if anyone has actually used these fixings or if there is a picture of it in use.

Some Australian pick ups were built with bench seats, so it is possible they used the fitting, although probably not what they were intended for.

I like the look of the bench seat in the pickup, I haven’t seen this before and looks great.
