Pickup cab

Post by stuffedpike20 »

I was informed recently that the log book goes with the chassis.

And yet there is a pickup cab for sale on fleabay, that comes with a log book.

Just saying, that's all.

Nothing new there. Hopefully the bulkhead plate number matches the v5.

V5 should go with the cab's chassis NUMBER, bolt cab to a solid chassis, all good!
However, just a v5 (with NO cab) but a bare chassis, you're entering into dodgy territory, sourcing the correct model cab for the year & all the hasstle involved..
Further investigations uncovered it was an inside job!!

What's the issue here, cannot see owt wrong nor any illegal activity when cab comes with it's original identity & chassis number(?).

As stated, the actual chassis is a only a "frame", in the GPO days, regardless of whether cab/body swap - and remembering both the cab & body were numbered individually - the regn/chassis numbers went with a cab, regardless of whether it was the original one.
My old 1959 postal van went through a GPO o/h & receved a cab/body from a 1960 van, despite being done "officially" nearly 60yrs ago, would this be classed as "illegal"?

This stuff only applies after ~1995, as I understand it, otherwise it is grandfather rights and you are OK.
