might be worth dropping an email to Cotswold dairies as they started to do up and restore a few, they might have some unrestored they are willing to pass on

 I am now the proud (?) new owner of this . Doesn't still look like this pic, someone painted it green. Has no batteries. The brakes are stuck on. One for the 'I will get around to it one day' pile |

Had to look that up... no. No more internal combustion engined builds for me. Having been driving an EV for a daily for last 5 years my next projects are all likely to be things converted to EV. I am toying with fitting more modern equipment in the float but i would have to do something with the suspension and brakes if I was to soup it up, it has cart springs front and rear... but no shock absorbers!

Hi, They're heavy old bits of kit design to carry heavy loads of milk (obviously) So the brakes should be OK for a drum brakes set-up albeit from slow speed. When I was on the buses the older vehicles didn't have dampers because of the friction from a multi leaf pack made them self damping. I'm not trying to put you off, just wondering if you knew what you were getting yourself into.
Looks like a good project.
Colin

Surely take the body and build a new chassis would be the way forward with this , its likely to need an IVA anyway so why not ?

retired with too many projects!

starting with a more modern 3.5t chassis already with axles and brakes might be an idea, any suggestions? most of the things i can think of have cab welded to chassis, Transit etc. Maybe Isuzu or Mitsubishi Canter, something like that?

I'm pretty sure the Nissan cabstar is a separate chassis, forward cab, size is about right, GVW is 3.5t. Would be a good exercise of what you could change over and stay within 8 points to keep the original reg, which is presumably registered as electric already? |

cabstar: expensive and rusty (High export value?) and might even be a bit narrow but worth investigating

Another option for separate chassis is an Iveco Daily, believe they're separate chassis throughout the range.
Rusty should play into your hands, as long as the chassis escapes anyway

cabstar certainly does rust but only the cab, also the engines like blowing headgaskets after the egr tube leaks and basically gets the coolant blown out of the system by the Exhaust gases when the valve is closed which inevitably leads to running dry and getting very hot.

Oddly enough I’ve just finished reading ‘three men in a float’ about a trip from lowestoft to lands end in a milk float
Read it just because it was there, id come to the conclusion part way through that I really didn’t care whether they made it or nor
So full of self-righteousness
What a wasted opportunity 🙁
