Apart from the one shown above, there can't be many 107/109" Series Ones in the UK without the truck cab already fitted.
IMO more likely a SWB owner might wish to convert a vehicle to a truck cab.

A (nearly) full set of deluxe trim is a good selling point, might be worth photographing all of it.

To whet someone's appetite, gratuitous pic of three SI truck cabs below.

You need a truck cab for that, and I just happen to know where there is one for sale!

I do happen to have a truck cab which is residing in the garage but I like the full canvas look. The rear tub top section on both sides was very badly bashed in so a decision had to be made, look for another decent tub, dump the tub completely and make a tray back for it or utilise the original tub by cutting it down to the same height as an 86/88 and make it into a full canvas courtesy of a bespoke hood from UCC. The latter seemed the best option and is quite unique.
The back is a bit “baggy” still and needs to shrink a little.

As Slidey mentioned if you have some original trim that would be a good selling point for your truck cab.

Hi Clayton, many thanks for the offer, that's really kind. As it happens I have 2 of these truck cabs and only one 86", so there's no point keeping this one.

I had a load of Series 1 stuff stored at my mum's place but sadly she died unexpectedly just before Christmas, so I've had to clear it all out in order to sell the house. I now have an extremely full rented container on a secret secure site packed full of S1 treasures, but no room for this cab. I've also just sold two full hardtops for 86"/88" which also didn't fit in the container, but which again I couldn't see myself using. A S1 with a hardtop is too much like a biscuit tin to me, I prefer canvas.

No worries there blackwolf and the offer is always there if you need it  1996 Golf Blue 300Tdi 110 Pick up. Keeper.
