Deerepower Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 I bought a britains lorry from a bootsale not so long ago and was wondering what to do with it, so I desided to make it into a delivery lorry. I have removed the flat bed from it and fitted a new ray box which has been shortend, I scratch built a workig tail lift for it as well as a chiller unit (ideal for delivering fruit and veg), it has been converted into a righthand drive. I'm thinking about replacing the rear doors and fitting a roller door instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akey Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 That looks good, specially like the tail lift I find "Newray" stuff hard to find round my way, and there's normally not much on ebay either, and as someone said before, there's a big gap in the 1/32 truck/trailer market!

I do know of a ftf member who is working on a tipper trailer for the new ray lorries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 Toys'r'Us or Motorway services are another good bet too. Not giving all the places away though Got a few ideas I ought realise into something as well really. More cabs needed though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
