Funnily enough I was looking at one of these just earlier today. They seem to offer more value for money over any other Sierra currently for sale and have a far more practical use for my intentions.
From what I understand the PCD is normally transit van. Looks like yours has had a Sierra swap? Do these run a leaf spring set up on the rear?
Very much like these trucks.

Basically a Transit rear chassis (with leafs) bolted onto the the Sierra front end at the bulkhead. Not exactly the best for handling and heavy but a cool truck nonetheless. Some folk do install the rear Sierra subframe. I considered one for a Cossie swap before I got my Brat. I had a "California" special edition one as a garage parts hauler. Sunroof, beefy rollbar and some funky graphics. It was cool until the scrap skip lorry reversed into it when he was collecting the skip and creased it right up the side. He bought it that day, whether he wanted to or not! ETA - Here's one, I forgot how cool it was, poor P100.   |

Nice looking truck
A mates son had one, did a performance turbo D conversion, went on a test drive and it burst into flames! Fortunately they got out, but the truck was gutted, and so was he 🙁
It was so badly damaged he couldn’t find what caused the fire in the first place

Nice looking P100 steadyg2002 is the crewcab a cut down estate, or one like this?  They're one of those car-trucks that look just right proportionally, bed, cab, and bonnet are all just the right size in relation to one another. As soon as you start messing with that, it spoils the design. OP's truck benefits from a really nice wheel choice and the lowering is spot on, can't fault it. |

Cheers for all the comments guys, thinking someone had done a hub conversion on the front and swapped to a Capri rear axle, is there any p100 builds on here?
