History
Found this HD ute in 1990, smashed up after hitting a power pole on the way home from the pub by the previous owner. The ute was left down at the bottom of a paddock with all the bolt on guards dented, the bonnet was up and a calf was chewing on grass growing up through the engine bay.
Bought the ute for $250; restored it; and have been driving it ever since as my daily driver.
Just came back from a two week trip to outback Queensland in it. June 2018.
The ute has been very reliable over the last 28 years and have had many good times with it.
