Always wondered if "Felco" was the tray manufacturer?

Nice idea, but it doesnt look right in my mind though, I think the tray must be lower, and the wheels much much bigger :mytwocents:

So just for interest, maybe it will be a project in the future, but not now - would a GU pickup cab and front end fit on a GU wagon/coil sprung chassis quite easily?

I still really like the idea of a flat tray bakkie, but, it needs to be a short tray, and, as Peter pointed out in this thread, the leaf sprung chassis wont allow that much to be shortened off the back, so a coily would have to be the way.

Should be quite a lekker project to go treasure hunting through Dawids yard and build a coil sprung bakkie I think!
