Ok now this may sound a bit weird but at the moment my 1200 ute has a lot .... well not a lot a few specks of rust in the back tray. im thinkin about cuttin out the tray and lining it with treated polished wood. Now my dad thinks im a dickhead cos it would look stupid, but seriously i have no idea. I prolly wont do it, but i need sum kinda idea.

I guess it could look alright, but (I assume)with the sides of the tray and the wheel arches being the same colour as the rest of the shell, it may look a little out of place.

You never know, you might find that it looks fantastic.

Good Luck!!!

ps: there is a mazda ute in Canberra that has a flat tray (like a HQ one tonner) that is polished wood and it looks very nice indeed.

i dunno, it might look okay if the color of the ute fits in but i think it being a wellbody it might look silly, have you thought of checkerplate? i know that looks good! and if you do it the side panels in the tray make them checkerplate aswell looks the biz.

thats my 2 cents

U know, checkerplate, hmmm i had never thought of that, it never came to mind ... thanks man , gota love ur two cents.

my mates ute is black and he has that i'll see if i can find a pic

Awesome man, thanks.
But yeh mine is purple now but will be white so ... what u think on colour?????

Cos my car aint straight enough to be black. Dont got the dosh at this point in time.

sorta on the topic, anyone got any pics of some flat-deck 1200 utes

i don't, were they released?
anyone know of any modded ones?
that would be cool

do it, i wanted to if i got a ute, just to make it look even smaller than they already do

i know of a factory sold flat bed in darwin, apparently she's rusted beyond restoration though

About 5 years ago when I advertised for a 1200, someone from down south rang and offered me a flat deck. He said it could get loose in the back on gravel like you wouldnt belive.
