hi guys i'm looking to convert my hardtop to a truck cab how much should i expect to pay for reasonable complete cab and tailgate?

I assume the cab sits on top of the bulkhead behind drivers seat or are there some other bits I need?

Thanks

I'm selling a good truck cab, has sound proofing and led lights in the roof so you can see what your pigs up to in the dark!

You will need the filler plate which doesn't always come with the truck cab, which seals the gap between the truck cab and bulkhead, plus make sure it has the seat belt mounts.

The rear of the cab sits on a panel called a cab infill panel, or somthing like that. I just used a piece of 3mm ali sheet cut to suit. I got my cab for £40 on ebay. If you get a proper infill panel be be prepared to pay about £50!

Mine has seatbelt mounts and it's the later style one with a window that doesn't grow as much moss!

OK thanks guys I had no idea if I was looking at £20 or £200. A bloke at work has one with tailgate for £75 will have to go and see it, if in good condition with the plate it might be worth it.

LED lights that is special did they come as standard on the pig wagon spec

£150 seems to be the standard price on ebay anyway so at £75 thats a bargain


LED's is for posh farmers what want to keep an eye on their porkers

I just paid £170 for a complete cab in good condition with infill plate. Drevil is right, most go for £150 ish without the plate.
You can pick up a gate for £5 to £20 at a show. You'll have to replace the centre rib, because all of them are knackered.

That moss is what makes it a genuine Land Rover - without it it's a fraudster.

the top is series and mossy the rear panel is the defender one with a window that locks and is almost sealed
