HI Chasmac, I have one, ex-Telstra , and the cabin is nicely larger than a standard 130 ute, allowing taller types to get comfortable. The actual difference in interior size is about 150mm but the benefits are bigger than that would imply . The roof would be the hardest part to construct. Mine appears to have been constructed by joining parts of a single cab roof in such a way as to make it bigger but you can create the same effect by shortening a SWB roof and making the rear corners square, not rounded. The little side windows are the same, I think, as the rear corner windows of a 110 . Mine has very little in the way of door pillars as the little window uses up too much space. As a result , the doors wobble on rough roads. The doors are standard Defender style. The head lining is very neat and would have to have been custom made for these vehicles. Again, using a SWB roof would simplify the lining of the roof. The seat box has an extra panel across the width of the cab to fill in the space behind the original box. There is a corresponding panel in each side section. Hope this helps. Cheers, 130man.
