2005 Transit tipper body.

[leswold]

I wondered if anyone here had transferred a tipper body from say an '05 Transit onto a later Transit, maybe a 2011 or '12. Its just that we have a good ali arb box (with tool pod thing attached to the same arb box frame). The veh is getting bit ragged so we want to buy newer but keep the box etc...only if it'll fit onto the newer veh/chassis. I called Ford who put me onto a website which really didn't help, hence my ask now...

Its a simple measuring task.

 

Find the type you want to buy, check that the chassis rails are the same distance apart as the ones on the donor vehicle and check it will fit lengthwise

 

You may need to move a bracket or two but it ought to be a simple transplant
