That should be a bit of fun. What's it going on? Stretched Tonner?

Lovely getaway van OZ. You're going to have a lot of fun! I just wish I had never sold my Kombi!

Die hourse, DIE!

I see some business trips in your future Greg.... Van nats, car shows, the odd swap meet.... great pick up.... certainly more comfy than a tent....:weights:

i reckon it will fit on this..just need to measure it up for wheelbase..it will sit a tad high over the cab but that just leaves more room for storage..if it doesnt fit ill go buy something to put it on..

Have you measured the distance between the rear wheels and the cab? The van looks too long there to fit on...

**ozbox** · 28-03-2011, 07:51 PM

not yet sean..i just eyeballed it and thought it may be close..the hi ace is deceiving to look at because of its height..like i said above if it doesnt fit ill buy something to put it on..bedford cab chassis,ford transit cab chassis.one on ebay actually,f100/250 or chev c20..

Surely it wouldn't be too hard to shift the diff back a smidge if needed?

Like the numberplates on the tonner.

Speaking of Toranafest I saw a beautiful replica Marlboro 05 LX Hatch on a trailer coming down the Barton Hwy this morning. I was going in the opposite direction so no time to get the camera out.
