Am I imagining it but were some of the early D Series made with a fixed (non tilting) cab but fitted with a removeable cab floor instead as an option? I seem to remember something about it at the time but that was a long while ago now! I know that Albion made their Ergomatic cabs in a non tilting version and you could tell the difference as there was no ‘join’ in the front wings, we inherited one at Tilcon from Oxted Greystone Lime, but I had a feeling Ford offered the same option originally? Wikipedia doesn’t mention it though.Pete.
I have no recollection of that at all.
The reason for the option was to make it more useful for a luton.

Thankyou for confirming it Tony, I thought that might have been the reason. Generally most Luton bodies I encountered had a flap anyway (not so today with horseboxes though it seems! ) so I’m guessing the option wasn’t popular, although those Pantechnicons with a cab built into the body (integral is the word I’m searching for! ) would have found it usefull.
