The bulkhead behind the seats is the cab back, not part of the bed. Remove it and you're left with what the van has, ie no enclosed cab.

sounds interesting, paul - keep us updated :D

Why not take someone from your local branch with you when you go and see it? If it's the Potteries then there is a lot of LVC experience there 8)

Did you get to look at the pick-up and find out what the back was all about?

Hello Paul

The fibreglass hard top is non standard and should be very cheap!! These are never built by the factory and it depends when it was fitted as to what condition it will be in. Oftern GRP cracks and glazes.

So realistically, if ihe has advertised it he must have some price in mind and push him for that. If not forthcoming offer £50 and see teh reaction? Were you expecting more? If so how much, everyone has a price! But the GRP top should not come into the bargaining unless the pick-up sides are good as they are rare and you may end up with a GRP top with nowt to put it on

I have images of one or two, they are not too pretty
