I do some climbing for a guy who has a tipmaster body. They are very well made, and the GRP they make the bodies with is surprisingly tough stuff. his truck is nearly 3 years old now and still looks as new.

 

I'd avoid a crew cab unless its an absolute must....it eats into your load space and weight carrying abilities too much.

hi steve

 

I have measure a crew cab and a single cab transit back and there was only about 26 cm shorter. I thought a crew cab because you can rip out the seats and have storage for saws and kit. How good are the roller shuttering what you have between the cab and tipper? What do you drive transit or daily?

I am witing for my 110 defender chassis to give up the ghost, and then i will transfer everything to a 130 galvy chassis and fit a tool box with roller doors behind the cab in front of the chip box, a bit like the first one on this page:Quality Used Land Rovers, land rover 110 models
