Bit of a long video this time guys, heaps to fit in. This is part one of a three part build series focusing on the tray of the 79 series. Thanks for watching!
squaring things with a level is a fine way to do it as long as you are making it level to the tray or cab for example if you sit the level on the back of the tray and the bubble is just touching the edge of the line as long as when you put the level on the headboard it is the same theres no harm in doing i that way
New follower sir, love the content! Just a thought about the rear window, gonna be a pain to give it a clean when it gets dirty with 20mm to fit a hand or a wiper.
Welcome to the party mate haha. I'm using a bossweld mst185 from bunnings, it wasn't much fun with gasless wire but now that I'm using gas and solid wire it goes alright
Hey mate can you do me a favour? I’m making up a tray for mine and been looking for the angles for a head bourd the exact same as yours? What angles is it cut at?
Sure no stress mate. Its a bit hard to explain angles without a pic but the bottom angle is 14 degrees and the top two are 38 degs. Flick us a message on instsgram and I'll send you a photo of my plans if you like mate

Mate a level works in a pinch but it’s more difficult and not as accurate as a square
nice mate!
Thanks!

Thanks mate! Yeah its going to be a bit of a pain I hadn't thought about that haha, who needs clean windows though hey
Hey mate, really enjoying the build. I'm doing a tray myself at the moment and am wondering what design software you're using?
Thanks mate! I use a free 2d program called solid edge. It's pretty easy to use and does the trick, hit me up on insta if you need any help
Whens the the next vid coming? Im about to start my tray build and keen to see how you go
Hopefully next week mate 👍
Good job Roy,did you weigh all the steel you used to make the tray ?
No mate I’ll find out what it weighs after it’s all built haha
dead right about squaring and levelling. 2 different cans of worms there
