Space between cab and tub: 2 adult sized fibreglass bathtubs, top one inverted, both flangeless & joined together to form secure, weatherproof carry chamber for cargo that won't fit in the cabin but has to be left in vehicle. Steel angle iron mounts & vertical perimeter securing bands cast integrally. Left side door access only. Minimal internal dividers/shelving. Paint against UV.

Comments are invited on my DIY project. It exists because I couldn't afford a decent dual cab at the start, but this ute was a bargain too good to ignore. I've had it abt 18 mths so far. This should be my last vehicle.
