It is sorta like Ï can't look at it", then you can't look away!

I have long thought about doing something along similar lines by doing the following:

Tonner chassis.
Tonner cabin.
Get a good van body, remove the turret and cut it behind the doors. Then weld a flat plate across to form a tub.
Make up some front mounts for the tub, it'll bolt to the tonner chassis using the original van rear mounts.

Then I'd have a well body ute, the van quarters and the tonner quarters would sit about 30-40mm apart. I'd probably leave the front edge of the van quarters sharp and recess the front of the wellback, back 15mm or so, and use pinchweld along the front edge of the quarters.

You could do the same thing with a ute back but it is more work dressing it where the ute turret is, van is a lot easier.

That looks very tastefully done! I like it!!

Good bit of outside the box thinking for a ute with rear panel damage.

You could not build it for that, even after a purchase price of around 1 or 2 thousand dollars???? Tidy but not for me..

It’s not bad, no such thing as a bad Holden in my book but the originals ones are way to go for me....

i think it would look better if he cut the ute off straight where the roof slopes down, it looks like he just picked a spot and went for it

Built in tool box. Not me but he's an ideas man......or woman.

Must say I do lean towards the ugly vote but that tool box bit is practicable but ugly!
