Commer PB pick up

[Russ Harvey]

originally a chassis cab is a nice story

Saw it at the Tatton show earlier in the year, it was just about perfect and a testament to Jon Green's (Jon on this forum) restoration skills. Now owned by a chap called Dave who runs a mobile mechanics business and just happens to be one of the judges at the Tatton shows Dave added the rear set up and finished the mechanicals out I believe.
Ironic really as Jon restored it to use in his mobile mechanics business but went for a smiley Transit instead.

Well, it only took me a year but she's now as clean as I can get her. Found the hubcaps in the toolbox and after half an hour cleaning and polishing they were good enough to go on. Not so sure about the missing paint. I don't mind the faded glory look but think I'll paint the drop sides and under at some point.

Wears it's scars well. I love it

Beautiful in all the right ways

 

[PaulJL]

[colinthefox]

Perfect as it is. I do like a nice pickup
I've threatened to paint my Karrier Bantam, but most people like it as it is with honest scars.

 

[Colin Stewart]

It has less scars than my pickup. looks good.

 

[Roatavator]

Thanks for your comments. Being basically lazy, I might well take your advice and leave as is for now!

 

[Colin Stewart]

Here are some pictures of my pickup.

Well done looking great.

 

[Roatavator]

Colin, looks great! I assume its the standard pick up with the lower bed than mine which is the builder's?

 

[Colin Stewart]

Builder's pickup. Has a lot of battle scars but still on the road and attending shows.

Silly me, didn't look at all the photos!
Great to know there's more around. I think yours looks just right as she is, now in 2 minds whether to paint mine, but I still don't like the bare metal!

Does it need painting? Van looks great Colin.

 

[Colin Stewart]

I have only painted the bed with none slip paint. Still to paint the front panel.

 

[Roatavator]

As for mine, missing paint on rear drop panel, also bare metal on valences under both sides dropsides which you can't see on the photos.

Slap on a bit of red oxide and job done

 

[Colin Stewart]

When I park my postbus in the retail park I park away from everybody. When I park my pickup everybody parks away from me. Love it proper ratty.
