As the title says has anyone ever seen one? Just a while ago i was on my way home from work and i saw what i swear was a traytop EA-B or D ute, because i was driving i couldnt get a pic and i havnt seen it since. I know there wasnt any utes made let alone traytops, I know the hillier boys did one or two E-series utes but never heard of a traytop, also you would think it would be more hassle than its worth to do it. Anyone know anything id love to know, oh yeah it was in that greeny silver colour (waits for correct name )

There was a company that made tray tops out of Falcons and commodores. The Aussie One Tonner Company, or something like that. They were a pretty dear conversion. Then Ford and Holden bought out tray tops, which sort of made the AOTC version redundant...

This company make (made?) the E-series traytops => Hammond Conversions
Not the Hilliers (beautiful E-series ute though). Not the Aussie One Tonner Company. Interestingly the ones that I have seen, which include the burgandy one at SummerNats, kept the sedan suspension (trailing arms and watt's link) not the expected wagon cart springs.
