SEVERAL of the Commer 2500 vehicles which are being operated by the Glasgow-based truck rental company Melvin Motors Ltd have been fitted with dropside bodies by B. Walker and Son Ltd. The sides of these bodies are removable and this allows Walker's Interchange swop-body system to be used and a van-bodied vehicle to be available if required.
The box bodies have an internal capacity of 38.5cum (400cuft) and are constructed with interlocking side and front panels which do away with the need for separate intermediate frame posts.
Each of the four corner support legs incorporates a simple hand-wound screw jack enabling the empty body to be lifted clear of—and lowered on to—the Commer's deck.
