All Goldstar bodies are fitted with lightweight alloy undei frames and sideguards and thermoplastic wings and mudflaps.
In addition, Luton bodies have an aerodome front. aeropack cab foils and skirt panels, and a 12min silverdeck floor, while tipper versions have wax/oil injected sideboards, heavier tailgate fastenings and an underbody treatment with six-year certificate.
