Im been toying with the idea, but a modern version,

Been thinking about getting a shorter prop and cutting the chassis rails to make the wheelbase shorter as its a pain parking. So I would loose the lockers, so got me thinking, Image

Well a nice chap over at retro rides had a little play with photoshop.

It look plenty doable, not quite what i have in my mind but the idea is there.

What do people think Image

I got Peter Lee's "Ford Transit - Making of An Icon" book for Christmas.

There are a couple of shots of it in there including a black and white one taken from the rear, but the trailer is loaded, so you can't see much of the rear of the actual van. It looks like they used Sierra lights on both the van and trailer so they match.

i'm a bit new here so not practiced in uploading pics on this site, but if I'm the only one that has this book I'm happy to be shown how?

Here you go. Whole page dedicated to it. Have taken pics of the two pics and text separately. Sorry for the sideways wobbly focus and shadows - I'm no David Bailey....
