I posted a question like this just a few days ago mudgutz... Got a couple of replies. I'm about to do the research. I just bought an '86 tray back so now I have two with the problem. Seems that this is tyical. One of my vehicles is white so the fibreglass will be okay, but I don't know about colour matching. I'll post a result when I work out best price and options. cheers Royce

thanks royce much appreciated...yeah its typical everyone i looked at had the same..older ones anyway.....i bought my 90 for 10 grand so i could afford to put some nice after market goodies on , bigger rubber
lift and the like ......didnt seem to sit right with me to spend 30 grand to put a late model one in the bush and have to spend bucks for the good springs shocks etc anyway when at sale time youre only gonna tear up the bucks.....
