Transit dropside tipper conversion

[Gloaming Tree Surgery]

I've got a mk6 transit dropside that I want converting to a tipper. Has anyone ever seen it done or got any recommendations for anywhere that does conversions around Yorkshire?

 

Cheers.

I have done a couple of tippers including conversions and scratch builds

 

Generally the sub frame on a drop side is a bit feeble for a tipper but you can reinforce them without too much drama.

 

You can buy the ram and pump somewhere like ebay or a breakers might have a tipping body you could re use. you can of course buy new if your budget runs to it

 

This would be a good place to start, a bit of sand blast, bin the steel sides for ally (or not) and off you go
