That trucks modern for Somerset! 😂

Why does it have the spinning disc type window bit, like you would find on a fishing boat?

And I have never seen a windscreen split in three before - odd!

 

quite common on old snow ploughs

Yes i thought it was a good idea.

It was an old 1940 dodge truck with a tipper back but it was the old wooden slate style rear body so looked very much the classic.

Sign written up tastefully i thought it would stand out from all the transits etc that everybody has.

 

It never going to be a everyday work horse for obvious reason but for getting ones name seen got to be good.

 

Seems to work when for example redbull convert the vw beetles with a giant can of red bull on them.

 

Same principle to me.

Here's my Isuzu tipper after some tidy bodywork and wrapping. I think she looks the biz but I am very biased!

I agree, very nice, good signage.

Love the look of that stands out in your memory. Looking at them at the moment, can decide to go Mitsubishi fuso or Isuzu? What model is that?

Very nice indeed, what's the body set u bk at?

[dale@coastal]

It's the 3.5t Grafter. I've had it a little over a year, and it already had the tool cabinets and a standard tipper bed with drop down sides and rear.

 

I had the bodywork done at Buffalo Trailers in Yeovil, and the signage by Sprint Signs in Weymouth.

 

The body is aluminium boards around a reinforced galvanised frame, with chequer-plate roof so I can get up there for street tree work etc. Roof frame also acts as a ladder rack, or can carry lengths of timber for landscape jobs.

 

Roughly £4k investment but it's already paying for itself...

Got it home today

Straight through exhaust, sounds bad ass
