Fresh tipper body required.

[Ty Korrigan]

Hello,

I've a 2007 Iveco double cab whose tipping unit is becoming a bit rotten.

It is also quite a heavy unit too not that it matters now I've 5.5t springs fitted.

My question for the members of the Parish is.

"Where to go to find a fresh compatible USED tipping unit on the

South coast of England?"

I'm not looking for a fancy new £10k custom alloy body here due to the age of the truck.

I admit, I know little about the subject but can see ram and hinges position being rather important.

If it proves too much of a fag, I'll get it patched locally.

  Thanks

Have you tried on the bay

Patch it locally. Generate a relationship with a local partisan and they will be glad to help!

What's the budget?

Not the €10k quoted locally...

I've seen new tipping units, Ford one stop with alloy sides for sale for around £1k online. Obviously no greedy boards.

I'm in the U.K for a couple of weeks taking my chipper back to GM for warranty work and thought I'd see about the tipping unit whilst I was there.

I can get it welded locally of course.

My man who can is also a woodsman here and we occasionally work together.

Partisans hide in the mountains and shoot Germans.

I rather like Germans, they make reliable chippers...
