Yes,I'm sure I shouldn't be here after that crash. I've an urge to get a pick up though. I'd rather have the MK2 transit above also!
I was once excluded from school for setting the fire bells off. My dad took me into school for a meeting with the headmaster. The school was wrapped around the car park too so my dad punished me in a way that stuck till end of school days. He took me to school to that meeting at 9 am when the classes were full in a 1985 transit van. The van was hand painted florescent yellow with purple wheels,nudge bar and some weird wannabe airbrush painting on it. He also had stereo up full tilt with I think the bay city rollers on. ( This was in 2001) people noticed,it stuck and kids can be so cruel! Anyway I digress!

This is my commercial offering, a Morris. It has an all-steel cab, rare in 1933 but it was more all-rust by the time I got hold of it. It must have been one of the earliest UK trucks built this way.

The body is off a Transit which means the purists look down their noses at the vehicle, a plus in my book. I got this dropside for 50quid from great scrapyard that I could see from my house. It was well run by a friendly bloke, reasonably priced, and didn't have a filthy dog to scare the shit out of customers. Sadly it closed a year ago due to new rules from that wonderful institution beloved of THE ADMIN TEAM.

One day I tell myself I'll make something more fitting, but it's still used for carting stuff so who knows. The picture is of it pulling my caravan off to Norfolk.

8-) Hi Here's one I saw at a recent show Zetec powered ,Mk 3 granny running gear and a body that's as plastic as Jordon's cleavage . Designed to look like a period van most than a hot rod .
