hi all im after a mk3 or a 1990 onwards flat bed single wheel with or without engine and box or just a rolling chasis so i can swop my mk2 camper over to mk3 ,center of wheel 2 wheel is 107 long } dont no if thats short wheel base or long ive got a cupple of inches each way thanks

How many wheels does yours have? If it's 4, it's a SWB, if it's 6 it's LWB. Go for the same number of wheels on your new chassis cab. What's wrong with your old one?

its got 4 wheels and since i put the di in the steering is so heavy u can only turn when moveing and im worried about it collapseing with the weight

[FredTransit]

Ah so it's a SWB. The diesel is a heavier engine so the steering will get heavier.

im worried about it collapseing with the weight

Why? Is the chassi rotten? If not, can't see what you are worried about. We've got 5 conversions (85-85) and none of em have collapsed yet! They are all twin wheelers though!

no shes not that bad all the welding is done but the steering worries me when u driveing

you were lucky to have light steering to start with, every mk2 ive had always left me feeling exhausted after turning the steering while stationary
unless you get one with power steering it will be almost the same with a mk3 with the same wheelbase

no shes not that bad all the welding is done but the steering worries me when u driveing

trust me you get used to that, it's just a culture shock when you first convert. I would stick woth what you have got, much much less work.
