New LDV Chip truck

[A_lopa]

Another thing- having all the materials and bits and pieces in one place before the start would have been a good idea of course. I spent a lot of time drivign round for nuts/bolts/ rivets extra aluminium wiring supllies etc. One day I'll have a fully kitted out workshop and spares/supplies etc.

 

 

Makes alot of difference having it all there just in less frustration,Good luck with it Rupe it looks clean enough and will make some $$

Thank you.

 

Some more pics form todays finishing off! I had some Aluminium spare from the roof so I've used to fill in the gaps on the sides.

 

ALL pretty much done now, just needs sign writign and some more storage under the tip bed.

How easy will it be to get insurance on your modifications? I have had real trouble insuring highsides on a transit in the past

[skyhuck]

Not sure I would mention it.

Good question, and I don't know! The vehicle is registered as a dropside so that needs changign for a start. I was just planning on changing it to a tipper and leaving it at that!

The problem I have is they ask if the vehicles bean modified. If you say yes some spotting plank asks if its been lowered, wide rims, blah, blah, what evers on the list. If its not on the list then computer ses no!

As long as you've not modded the performance or anythign MOT able, or added bullbars then it should be ok. I don't know, but I've been driving chip truck with homemade chip boxes on for years and never worried about it. If they ask me if its modded, I'll say no other than that it tips.

 

Th eoriginal vehicle may have been registered as a drop side but that wasn't specific enough to say if it had the tool box on there or not, so I'll not mention that I added that bit.

 

It didn't tip, now it does. End of. I hope!

Your right I'll shut up. Its just that I know they will get out of paying any way they can if there is a claim
