Arb truck single or double cab.

[t0ny0k]

We are looking to upgrade our Ford Ranger pickup to a tipper truck.

Read numerous posts on what make, my dilemma is single or double cab.

Insurance is more for the double cab due to the number of seats and age of owner/driver who is 26 with 1 year Ncb (All his ncb is on his Road car)

Can you change the log book if you convert the back to tool storage and class it as a three seater.

Guys with the single cab how to you manage with tool storage as initially He won't be able to afford a custom arb box with built in storage.

Space cab? Best of both worlds. Being able to lock tools in the cab is great but equally you loose space in the bed

I'm sure "technically" the single cab isn't tax deductible and the double is. Just saying

That's the way I'd go.

Something like this.

Converting the pickup had crossed our minds. Anybody got any photos of a double cab pickup with a tipper conversion. Also what sort of price. I've seen a single cab hilux locally that has been converted but not a double cab.

Double cab you're looking towards 3k as an ally tipping chip box

Can't forget the dog so it's got to be a double cab! Just not enough room in a single cab for jackets, sarnies, cakes etc

But it really depends on whether he'll be transporting blokes or logs/chip /kit

Bargain basement but could be good to start out with...

I'd go extra/king/super/space cab rather than double.

More bed space and dog/kit friendly, especially with suicide doors.
