Truck cab Conversion

Thanks 303gunner, have looked at ROps, and might squeeze in. I dont want to cut any of the original Army, so will mod the defender truck cab to suit, have fitted a truck cab to my first landy a series 2A, long time ago, presume it simular..... was also thinking of overhauling the power steering box and fitting this also??? any thoughts???? the defender donor car has a 308 holden, I was going to fabricate a mount to fit the holden power steer pump???
going to use truck cab, tow bar, ignition lock, centre seat cubby box, power steering, doors off defender. If anyone is interested in other parts, please advise. Defender has holden 308 motor, LT77, unsure of transfer, front & rear diffs, good chassis, poor firewall(rusty) original dealer fitted air conditioning with vents that pop up over your shoulder (condensor & compressor missing)

Grab one of these Isuzu gear driven hydraulic pumps from a truck wrecker. Bolts straight in to front driver side of the motor.

Thanks rar110, great idea

You'd actually find that you could even bolt the truck cab off the 2A you previously had on!

I doubt it. Different windscreen.

No you can't - the windscreen is higher and hence the cab roof is different. The back panel of the cab is interchangeable though.

Ah that's what I was thinking of.

You can if you use the series windscreen with it ( will bolt onto the 110 firewall) instead of the 110 windscreen. I have seen it done.

Series 3 not 1 or 2 or 2a.

The asymmetrical wipers on the 110 would probably need some modification (reduce sweep) unless the split screen on the Series 3 windscreen were replaced with a single piece of glass - possible, but means you now have a non-standard screen when you need new glass.

Bit confused, does that mean the 1993 defender truck cab wont fit??
