White cab black box looks very smart imo.

 

Unpainted looks smart too, but could present the wrong image!

 

Only trouble is they have sanded the welds, which looks a little unsightly.

 

I would prefer unpainted but will either have to either polish out the grind marks or I wondered about having it lightly sand blasted to give it a matt sheen ??

It looks smart, professional and like it'll hold a few dead things.:biggrin:

Fill your boots big boy :biggrin:

 

When I said blast, I meant a light grit blast not bead blasting, just enough to matt it off so it isn,t shiny. It may be better to paint it in the long run and have one of those graphic sign writing jobbies done. Does anyone know what it costs for those fancy graphic sign writing jobs

Here is my new chip box, it's made out of square box section that was salvaged out of old gates that my landlord was throwing away, with the standard drop down sides off and the new box as is it rides about an inch higher on the suspention! Barn doors as well as a higher tail board that i made aswell and new LED lights all round. Really enjoyed doing it to be honest and in total cost me about £500 (metal was free) inc sigh written boards all round.

 

Ladder rack on the top for that proper traveller look:lol:
