Pickup/ute body business? Opinions please

[Gray git]

I got a ex electric board hilux with a really well built body as our tool truck and tow tug, wish I could have found a twin cab with such a nice body on as the op's picture.

Ex utility make a lot of sense, usually well maintained and available at a fraction of the true cost of such a vehicle.

 

Got my eye on this one

This is ours
That landy is very nice and comes in your company colours already which is handy

Guy on Twitter in the Plant job, built his own and is now starting up doing them by the look of things.

 

He must think there’s something in it, but from my experience with machines, boy there’s going to be some legwork to do and wankers to deal with!

No way!
I was working at the roadside and saw that truck pull into the garage. I pretty much chased him and had a good look at it.
Even weirder, APE was a company name I thought about!

I've heard of a number of fabricators who made arb bodies or similar as one offs and then it went on to become their main source of income.
