Help removing Ute back

thanks utemad, I've got a new styleside to put on.
the brain doesnt talk to my fingers, i have a long range fuel tank. and i can get to the front bracket but with difficulty only 40 mm clearance.

Can you use an open end spanner to get the bolts in/out? Although I see little purpose in this bracket it must have some purpose. Although it doesn't take any weight and as you might be able to see that if it was unbolted from the cab then it would hang loosely from a bracket on the tray. Perhaps it is to keep things together in an accident? I wonder if the steel/alloy trays have a similar bracket?

I also have another styleside tray to fit onto mine. An unused 1997 white tray I got on Ebay for $80. I mainly got it for the tail lights but will fit it so I don't catch my belt loops on the old tonneau cover black plastic things. I have a canopy now so these serve no purpose.

I just rang Holden spare parts at Mt Gravatt (had to anyway) and they had no idea and couldn't find the bracket part on the computer.

I rang them as I am going to replace the upper control arm bushes on my Rodeo when I flip my ball joints in a couple of weeks. There are 4 bushes and they are $37.15ea!!!! Might check out some aftermarket places!!

Let us know what the bracket is for if you ever find out.

Good luck.
