• A robust pick-up truck body for longwheelbase Bedford CF and Ford Transit chassis-cabs has been introduced by York's Truck Equipment Division and is available through any of the nine branches.
Construction is in steel throughout. The 22in-high fixed sides are designed with a variable-depth skirt to blend with the lines of the cab but provide a vertical inner face suited to carrying building materials and so on. The steel floor, 0.12in thick, is welded to the side walls, while full-width cross-members and chassis runners support the floor and pick up on the chassis maker's mountings.
The deck length is 9ft 9in, width 5ft 6in and the tailboard is 2ft deep. Unladen weight of a complete pick-up on the petrolengined Transit 175 is 1 ton 2.5cwc. Extras include a canvas tilt on a removable galvanized tubular frame.
