Sad, but true. If you are a Harley owner, you will know.

There are quite a few older Harley riders that travel to Mannum for a ride, haven't seen the marked parking area for the utes yet but they do have a ute show so I might go for a look at the utes and Harleys. Saw one the other day and I wasn't sure if it was a wide glide on a fat boy or a fat boy on a wide glide :lol: I guess if you are that size then you need a tractor to get you around.

Rather interesting, it looks like an American bay panel van that has been cut down for the 5'er, I wonder if the builder has the faintest idea just what that was worth before it was destroyed. The dual cab ute would be up around the $80,000 in good condition but the bay would have been worth quite a bit more as they are rather hard to find.
By the time the project is finished he could have bought a new Chev Silverado and last yrs model but still brand new 5'er for around the same $$ if it is a US project.
Always possible the bay is a Brazilian built unit, in that case they have doubled its value :lol:

It is in "caravan and camping mods" on facebook. He is in Albury NSW. It would be a slow trip unless the motor was upgraded.

Any idea what yr model? Does it have a single windscreen or a windscreen each side? How much rust? I'd love to convert one to electric and the dual cab would suit as a passenger vehicle as well. Very interested :D
