Photo of inside the ute should be attached I hope.

When the ambulance pod is removed, none of the normal ute tub panels were present ( I had been alerted this might be the case). Apparently they are removed to reduce all possible extra weight.

I had to buy 2 fuel tank covers so the body worker could weld them together to make one large one to cover the space. I also had to buy 6 smaller panels for the inside walls of the ute tub. The wrecker guys thought I was nuts.

The inside was painted by a paint shop with an industrial strength skin. Seems ok.

Note the rear window also from the wreckers with the free sticker (I picked that window esp!)

Cheers

Quick question - I was underneath the rear end today, near the spare wheel, under the floor of the ute there is some apparatis (could be mistaken for a wire coat hanger) with a chain attached and has a brake line going into it.

What's it for?

brake bias adjuster. adjust your brakes accodring to the weight in the back

Thanks for that davecunno -

Another question - has anyone tried to put a statesman interior light into a ute? The ute roof curves at the light position and the statesman light is slightly longer.

ThankS!

you should cut it up and make a crewman out of it

I did a quick search and didn't find anything...

has anyone ever mounted a small winch inside the tub of a VS ute? ( to assist moving bikes etc into the ute)?

Well this week I had it lowered, 2 new tyres and installed a woodgrain stato console.

Pleasure to drive + some extra creature comforts now!
