Are the T1N's unibody?
Vans where all unibody, but Chassis cabs where obviously not.Are the T1N's unibody?
So how do you do that with a unibody? Or was it a chassis cab?That one looks like it started life as a van....
Absolutely 100% certain it was a van!So how do you do that with a unibody? Or was it a chassis cab?
Absolutely 100% certain it was a van!
Reasons:
1. It has van bodywork showing below caravan body. Chassis cabs did not have any bodywork behind cab, either single cab or double crew cab.
2. Chassis cabs where never sold in the USA.
3. A Chassis Crew Cab would have an opening door behind the drivers door, not a fixed panel as a van.

Quote "Cargo and passenger versions comprise of a unibody steel construction. Chassis versions come in cab or crew cab versions with frames that extend beyond the back of the cab. Chassis crew cabs are not available in the USA."
QED.

PS But I still don't know how they have strengthened it to support the caravan body, it looks as though it may have a timber 'floor' under the caravan so your guess is as good as mine!
Ah yes but yours is an NCV3, my quote was specifically targeted at T1N's.Chassis cab models were certainly sold to up fitters I know my coach is built on one
OK I apologise, I was Wiki'dUmmm.. The quote you quote is that Chassis Crew Cabs were not sold in the US. I own a 2005 Chassis Cab...

It also has high roof. I think all Cab chassis and crew cabs were low roof.But in respect of the aforementioned caravan conversion I still maintain it started life as a van as it has a fixed panel behind the drivers door and sills (rocker panels).

Curious, how many centimeters per liter or inches to the gallon that beast consumes?Theres a good one on eBay Australia right now. 616CDI so its rated for 6 Ton.

Possibly. But such creations do exist and the wheel/tyre setup is relatively common in Iceland.Looks 'shopped
