• Lately added to the Ford Transit range is a steel dropside float body — the third new option in recent months, following the Transit artic and the high-roof models.
The float bodies are "regular production option" for any of the seven models in the Transit chassis-cab range, varying in size for shortand long-wheelbase variants.
Both bodies feature steel front panels, dropsides and tailgate, with timber floor section. The finish is in grey gloss.
The swb and lwb specifications are respectively as follows: lengths, 104 and 123in.; widths, 77 and 83in.; depths, 15.7 and 15.7in.; weights, 430 and 500111
Ford has also made a number of specification improvements to the Transits. All models now feature an anti-theft steering column lock and inertia reel seat belts (not on the chassis/windshield or chassis/cowl versions), with an automatic engine stop control added to all models fitted with the Ford 2.4-litre diesel engine. Additionally, the 100 parcel van, the 12-seat bus and the 13-seat crewbus now have 195 x 14 radialply tyres as standard equipment.
