Variable body shells THE FIRST QUERY in your Q and

A page (CM, October 6) highlights one of the special features of the UBD van bodybuilding system, described in COMMERCIAL MOTOR on July 28 this year.
It may be recalled that the essence of this system is that the bodysides are built up from a number of panel units which are assembled together to form either a conventional panelled side, or one with openings for roller shutters, doors or flaps.
The arrangement may be altered at any time in the life of the vehicle, and therefore it would be entirely practicable by this method to vary the shell of the body to suit its usage.
We would be delighted to hear from any of your readers, including the inquirer who raised this point, and to furnish more details, together with a list of the nationwide network of bodybuilders specializing in this form of construction.
