Guessing this is long since gone,but interested if you still have it I'm in Exeter area. Thanks

Looking for a bit of advice from those that know.. About to convert my 110 to a tipper for log deliveries. Want to keep body length as short as poss. to avoid rear axle overload. How short can I sensibly go on a single cab 110? Also-best materials for floor? Thinking steel floor and ally sides.Good choice? Any bright ideas on tool box location? Was going to have it done by pro coachbuilders til I realised the savings from buying materials and self build (well hired help!)route. Appreciate any tips,this stuff is all new to me.Thanks.

Thanks for the replies.Gives me a few more options to consider. Definitely think custom built is the way to go as it gives you the ideal set up for your own circumstances which makes sense for something that's a long term purchase,especially if it will be used intensively. I was hoping to buy a body and tipping gear and have it sent out to fit ourselves to avoid parting with the truck(unless its very local)-but so far I am told they are only supplied fitted to chassis(ie need the truck). Will keep asking around and then go with what seems like the best option. Will let you all know how it goes.

Joined this forum some sometime ago but as computer time is scarce,this is my first post. I have a 110 that I would like to convert to a tipper and have a few questions that some of you may be able to answer. I plan to use the truck pretty intensively so am thinking that a purpose built job is justified.I am based near Exeter,Devon,but as yet have not been able to find anyone to do the job locally who doesnt want nearly 5k. Unless any of you can suggest someone better/closer,was thinking of trying MCB Tipton,West Midlands.Maxwell seemed pretty pleased with the job they did for him. The other thing I am unsure about is tool storage.As the 110 wheelbase is short Im thinking keep the body short(to avoid rear axle overload)and get the volume I need by going upwards. Would I do better to have roof mount tool storage to keep load as far forward as possible maybe at the expense of easy access,or toolbox built into body,which most of you seem to have,easier access to saws and equipment I suppose,but spreading the load over a greater area and further back. Maybe this is a negligble difference,just hoping for some opinions from those that know before I hand over my hard earned money! Thanks.
