Well we go by the litre here and it's recently dropped to $1.15 from $1.5. The dropping price of oil from $110 to $60 barrell has created this.

In fact, in my case, my truck was fitted with two huge LPG tanks and still has the original petrol tank behind the bench seat. The two LPG tanks were placed 1 x bed, under cabin window and 1 x under tailgate. I just had the bed one removed (and whole bed re painted) so I can sleep in the back if i ever want to. There really wasn't any need for so much fuel and it looked a bit fugly.

I'll post a photos soon.
Hi Lisa! Welcome. I see fugly is universal. Nice to know. I would like to see pictures of your truck. Just curios about the grille and any other body differences between the Aussie trucks and the states trucks if any.

My next mission is to update the wheels, grille and cabin. I'm also planning on building wood panelling to sit above the bed sides, so will soon also be seeking to learn the basics of carpentry.

AH HA! Another cleveland! That makes about 4 of us now, I think.

Hello Peter, Welcome to and the Slicks Forum.

You will need to go to the 48-56 Forum for your 1951 panel questions.

To find the guy that has the same rear doors as you you will need to go back to the thread that you first saw them in. Thèn you can see the username of the guy that the doors belong to. Then you can either post in that thread or gain enough posts so you can private message him. Good luck welcome to the site and make sure to post any questions in the right forums.
