Looking for idea for high sides on a transit tipper

[derbyshiretreeservices]

Is this new or second hand trani your buying? Why on earth are you buying a transit? IF your buying new take a look at the Vauxhall Mavano 3.5 but ask for the rear wheel drive its called the HD as the other lighter wight is front wheel drive, its £10.000 cheaper than a trani and its just as good if not better, ive bought one and two of my other mates have just bought one, one had a trani and the other a merc sprinter, both cost a small fortune to keep them running!

Always had transits, can get parts no problem and my uncle knows his stuff when it comes to fixing them

 

I'm thinking of having the toolbox in the same place we fixit- great idea

I like that:thumbup1: Its important to keep the weight off these trucks, the Ali boards make sense and look smart. Who supplies these boards and edgings?

The alloy planking looks real neat, just wonderd why you didn't remove the original transit sides and go the the extra ? then the body would look better and not like you've just added some alloy ?

Nearly finished!

That looks great! How much do you think it was in material to make the tool box?

Looking great, is the roof hinged or solid? Or is that what a 'baffle' looks like?!

[WeFixIt]

Roof is fixed as per customer request!

 

The baffle is the plate on the headboard space out to give a 25mm gap behind and there is a couple of but to fit in the top corners which cove the row of holes in the top of the headboard

 

Ran out of rivets so could finish it of till Monday!!
