Thanks for the replies, I've been in touch with atkinson vos, ac price and South cave today.

Water pumps seem to vary from £150-200. I have some fuel and air pipe on the way so hopefully I can get those systems up and running.

Is there much in the aftermarket parts department?The cab mounts are looking at £66 each wich is just two much for some bits of rubber. I'll make my own I think.

I have been reading about the four speed and splitter gearbox I think that's what confused me, also my mate has two 800 tracs both with splitter.

Yes the cab is a cut down DOKA? Double cab I wonder if by all the extra wiring, light brackets colour scheme etc it was used on the railway? The cab doesn't concern me at the moment, I will be getting the rest of the mog up and running and then look at what to do with the cab. I'm about 6'3" so the king cab appeals to me!

Atkinson vos do an operaters book for £40, do any of you have one of these and if so are they a worthwhile investment?

I have spent this evening repairing some of the chassis where the tree spade was gassed off. I just need to repair the very rear of the chassis.

Finally what size back body do people fit? after a rough measure up Im thinking along the lines of 6'6" by 8-9' long, does this sound daft?


Will.
