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

    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.

    after doing all the measuring i found that i needed at least an f350 dually iin wheelbase...what i found was an 82 ford transit with 250 6 cyl and auto that has always been a camper with a walkthru but the guy took the camper off..so its a cab chassis that is still registered so i dont need to engineer it and im just waiting for it to get down here from north of coffs harbour..it should have been here for this weekend but did not make it...:(
    hiace chassis is coming out from under the camper tomorrow..just been pulling the fuel tank and water tank out today to get clearance for the rear wheels to roll under the camper...

    If the van fits on the tonner, are you looking at selling the tray? Looking for something similar in the next month or so. PM if it's going please.

    Hmmm, did n't read the whole thread... Tray still there?

    yeh the tray is still attached to my tunna,,even if i removed the tray from the tunna it would never be for sale... that tunna was the first nice vehicle i had owned since a new escort van in 1976..cost 34k in 1997 and took me 4 years to do the lease and then the gst kicked in which attracted gst on the end of my lease and then i had to commercial hp my residual for another 2 years and then my accountant ripped off all his customers and the tax office put my company into liquidation...with 1 payment left..BITCHES...that tunna has been thru major financial pain so it goes no where..currently sleeping under a hoist..
