moving tipper body onto new van

[smudge1]

Does anyone know how hard it is to move a tipper body onto a new van.

Ive got an old transit with low miles, engines fine but body's bad so want to get a custom built one, only problem is i'll probably get a new van in a few years, was wondering if i could put the tipper body on the new transit, how hard is it?

Nuts & bolts

 

Not quite that simple

 

If it's like for like manufacturer then the chassis rails will probably be the same distance apart. If it's another make they probably won't be

It is as simple as nuts & bolts iv been swapping luton bodys flat beds etc for tippers for years, yer swapping body's from diffront chassis is not alway a direct fit but can be easy sorted with some box section angle iron etc same as modding body's for diffront tasks you only need basic skills, if your not up to job just pay some one !!
