Keep the traveller and buy a pickup!

Thanks for that. But i can't afford to replace the compleat back as it's all shot. The pick up idea is so i can keep the moggy on the road

OR (and I know I've already offered a couple of these to people on here and not yet followed it up) you can buy a steel pick up cab back from me, if you can do some repair work to it. Bear in mind that a real pick-up has a separate chassis - if you simply take the back off a trav' it'll fold in half without a LOT of reinforcement.

At least one person on here has done it, and can advise, and I know there are a few about.
