Cause they arnt actually attached to the cab, i'd imagine it'll be algood as long as it doesnt pose a safety risk! (i.e rust falling off above wheel arches ect)

yes, if the tray isn't removable, eg. kingswood or any falcon before the AU model

Rust for a fail would at least be for .
Flaking rust Mounting points Tail/side gate attachments Mudguards & mounting points Tail/side gates Light mounting points Anything jaggered External holes (fingers cought in the hole on the way past) Anything loose
Any holes in the flat part of the deck would be an instant fail IF you were stupid enough to not cover them.
I think it's covered under the same rules as truck decks/trailers etc

So then welding repairs wouldn't need cert ect!

And does that include utes with removable trays! Otherwise could just go in with no tray!

The removable tray would still have to comply as well as the attachments used. Basicly if it's not fitted at the time of inspection, then it can't be checked . BUT . if a roadside inspection is done WITH a faulty removable tray fitted,or you are invloved in an accident AND perticulery where the condition of the tray could be a cause of THAT accident,. then you would be in the P ooooooop

Danni, nothing stopping you doing the welding yourself unless its a COF vehicle and is a structural section to be welded. Private vehicles are wide open for you to weld up yourself unless you are building replacement mounts say for certified engine transplant and or suspension lifting etc. As for patching your deck area just go for it.
