transit body question

[prolinep]

Hi All,

Sorry for another question thing. But just looking at buying a new transit (new to me) roughly 10 plate onwards and was wondering whats the best way to go about an alu chip box body ?? seem some awesome transits with them but who actually makes them or when can i go to get prices from ??

cheers

also can people tell me load length sizes ?? like between double cab and single cab .. how big is the bed ? just toying if to go crew cab or single cab. ?

I've had both, and there's not much in it bed length wise but the DC is a fair bit longer overall.

If you're not carrying rear passengers the DC is a lot of wasted weight,

The best configuration for arb is purpose built tool lockers on a single cab, between the bulkhead and the tipping body.

DC load bed length is 10'.

Pretty sure the single was between 10'6" and 11'.

They can be built by different firms, though, so there may be some variation.

Single cab body is 10ft6 and crew cab body is 9ft6, the crew cab is handy for the tools. I built the body my self.

Nice vehicle and nice signage...plenty of tool space... thats all you need!

It looks good, what is the body made of?

[prolinep]

massive thanks for the lengths, Im just looking at getting one and did toy with the idea of DC but I'm only use it for work as work vehicle so think id benefit of more bed space than double cab.

been looking at second hand vans but looks like I'm going to have to get a body built for it. Any one know of the rough price of a body? reason I'm thinking alu is just same again weight saving and more payload ??

Cheers Guys

@ Prolinep - I have a one stop transit double cab. Similar to DC in photo above, but standard body. Quoted £800 for alloy greedy boards/ raised high sides to a professional standard.

Full custom body will cost £2800-4000 approx
