Changing to Truck Cab from Station Wagon
Axetamer:
If I was to put a truck cab on instead of being a station wagon, are there any other things that need to be done other than telling the insurance company? and I suppose the DVLA

Dont quote me, lol. but i think thats all you have to do. Im doing the same thing shortly, although to a pure hard top.
I'm sure someone with more knowlage will be along.
Axetamer:
Thanks for the reply, doing a bit of surfing it seems to be that only chassis alterations need a SVA doing.
So if I was to replace my rear crossmember with one from D44, http://www.devon4x4.com/products_a/p87c43/0/d44-8274-rear-cross-member-with-winch-mount.html, I would need a SVA doing?
I've decided to truck cab mine as roll cages for truck cabs are about a third of the price of a full external hard top.

Shouldn't have to as your not actually changing the chassis!! the D44 is a direct replacement to the rear of chassis!! only difference being it incorporates a rear winch tray.
You don't have to tell them when you replace a rusted on for a britpart or alike! cos the new one does the same job but isn't supplied from L/rover.
Fitted one of these to my 90 & went on a treat done in about 2 hours!! ( old one cut of & new one on ) :dance: :clap:

It's probabaly as close as you can get without needinf an SVA. When Blackbob put that Sierra on his RRC chassis the DVLA insisted that welding brackets to the outriggers meant his chassis was no longer original and unmodyfied. Like you say though, you can plate over rust to your heart's content.
