Hi there volvo diesel lovers! :)

Im new here so i thought i would show you all what im up to!

Im transforming my 760 to a pickup, i dont have the time put up all the pictures with english text atm so i will link to a swedish streetcar website!

But i can give a quick brief!

I have chopped off half of the roof, and i have put in some supportingbeams to hold everything, havent done much to engine yet, Alumina-IC, slightly bigger turbo, took away the air conditioning among other things!

now give me some feedback :D

Best regards Joakim

Wow looks pretty cool. And don't you feel special with your factory D24Tic manifold! How do you plan to finnish the bed? Are you going to fab up a regular tail gate like a normal truck or something different?

In sweden they registrates the cars from cars to tractor.So they can drive when they are 16 years old.

Thanks Jason! haha not really, here in Sweden they are quite common actually! ^^
Well the bed is probably gonna be finished up with wood, not really shure yet!
Im hoping to get a regular tail gate like a Ram or something, but it will fall to place as the build goes along.

Volvo_d6: Its not going to be registrated as a tractor, im going to register it to a "light truck".
