Trouble with that is it still looks more like a van than a recovery truck

can't see this being a good idea the chassis rails have a top on them on the chassis cabs and the vans dont - they (i'm guessing) get their extra strength from the roof.................... which this doesnt have :shock:

I can see some poor bugger in this on the hard shoulder scratching their heads when it folds up under the strain of the weight.

Baaaad idea the roof coupled with the sides to the floor are the strength of a van
