Thanks Greg for great content including business tips. You always have a backup plan 🙂 Moving the recovery gear from the failed to sell Transit T460 to the more weight capable Iveco makes perfect sense and gives us some build content - bonus.
Hi Greg, Nice to see another 3.0 iveco as a recovery vehicle. I'd put air bags on it instead of adding leaf spring, better comfort and adjustability, you can buy air bags off 7.5 t and make brackets yourself that's what I did in mine, I can show you some pictures if you want.
Hello Greg why don't you purchase another tail lift bed like the one o. Your Leyland truck for the ex council truck it would of more easier for you why don't you think about this simple l dea
What type of weight do these repo spec lifts take mate on either the transit or the iveco ,id love one mounted to a old defender with a Cummins diesel engine ,that would be a great all round tow vehicle especially with a center diff lock for the off road jobs , great video once again gregg ,not far off 50k now ,your smashing it 👌👊☮️
It is a little bit different! Main advantage is CREW CAB and being able to take that touch more weight again now I get alot more on the heavier van front etc!
PTO on these ivecos off the gearbox works much much better, but you obviously have to disengage pto when you reverse unlike an electronic pto running off the engine etc...
Hi Greg I am currently doing the same as you , I have a 65 plate 6.5t iveco crew cab , ex council . Had a 3m tipping body on that's being collected tomorrow. . I am putting air suspension on as well as the springs to cope with the weight that will be after the axle . The spec lift I have came off a early 2000's iveco 6.5t . That had an additional set of springs above the standard set for the spec load. I am hoping to start putting ib back together around easter . Once it's done it will be up for sale , around £15k. If anyone is interested.
Ah very nice! , Air suspension sounds good I may be adding that subject to how it lifts and sits when loaded... unsure yet! , Sounds like it will be a good set up. Send some pictures when it's done on the Facebook group EVERYTHING vehicle recovery UK!
Looking nice so far mate, to be honest just curious why you have obviously GDB Rescue and Recovery but then also Stafford Breakdown and Recovery. Just curious really mate no hate keep doing what you're doing 👍
In the early YT days, GDB was just his YT channel name and not shown on the trucks until he started to get more subscribers. Stafford seems to be his trading name locally which would make more sense as people will know what area he covers from the name alone.
It is all singing all dancing and very nimble, but as mentioned moving forwards to keep up with demand of crew cab with multiple passengers and to be able to do the more heavier vehicles now, before hand I was known for the little cars lift and shift tight places etc, but there's to many people in my area with 3.5t trucks taking the car work for £30-£50 , personally let them have it, and I will concrete on the bigger vehicles. GDB
Beg to differ, had lots of huge earning potentials for the right person / business, unfortunately most people finance in this game and dont have ready cash to make purchases for their businesses... GDB
@@GDBRescueandrecovery This is what I have notice people are doing. You dont earn on the potential of what someone else can make from the vehicle. And that’s why none of the recovery trucks are selling on eBay. 7.2 Iveco daily 2015-2016 with 270k on em for 30/40k You’ve had your money out em already. Also the people buying at this level and budget (20 year old spec plus) ain’t earning much so it’s never gonna sell plus you live in the country most are in cities with charges for such old trucks. I’m not even having a go at you. But it’s just too much money especially in this climate with people under cutting for £20 a job lol. Even the chassis for 7k is crazy. It’s not what you have spent on it. It’s what it’s worth and what it’s gonna cost to get it up and running compared what they can get already complete. You can beg to differ all you want. It didn’t sell in 4 months and with a price reduction. You have 45k subs which is probably every recovery company and driver in the country following you and their aunty. It still didn’t sell. The results speak for themselves. I do recovery and have had other recovery drivers even say to me can you believe what he’s asking for that. 😂😂😂😂 At the end of the day putting it on the crew cab makes more sense as you have so much tied up in it and it works for your business. Keep up the vids I enjoying watching you. 👍🏽
They're all working vehicles which generate income, unlike a personal car which only costs you money. It's all good here, all for the greater good. GDB
@@GDBRescueandrecovery Erm, they obviously make you money and ERM, cost you money. All vehicles have a cost. If your vehicles are not turning their wheels, they’re costing you money - simple really.

Like your thinking on this project ✅ Should be a useful tool once completed. 👍🏽😎
Thanks appreciate it! , Should be alot more advantages moving forwards! GDB
Greg you cant use the hydraulic cylinder from the tipper as it's only a single acting, it retracts by gravity with just the weight of the body .
Hello! I did realise this was once i lowered the back end down with gravity only haha, good spot though! GDB

Me too! Still going to be a bit of time yet, paint shop custom lockers, but will be done in a month or two! GDB

Very nice MR GDB ,
Thanks alot! GDB
trolly dolly too breakdown man i love it .
hmm intresting project 🤔🧐
It is a little bit different! Main advantage is CREW CAB and being able to take that touch more weight again now I get alot more on the heavier van front etc!
Nice project, is there enough room between the cab and spec to fit a NEO-DYNE motorcycle loader
Very nice MR GDB , very interesting pto , need to think how I could do the same for my little projects
PTO on these ivecos off the gearbox works much much better, but you obviously have to disengage pto when you reverse unlike an electronic pto running off the engine etc...
Saw you earlier on the A34 in the Leyland Daf 👍🏻
Ah nice one appreciate the spot! GDB
Looking good so far mate
Thanks so much 💪
Oooft the beacon game on that iveco 😂

Are you thinking of taking the lockers off of the original iveco body and putting back on the iveco for storage or having completly new
Negative they got sold along time ago! , Will have brand new ones made at present... unless I find something 2nd hand on the internet to salvage! GDB
Dos the transit have a taco in it and it will be good as a tipper truck
Looking nice so far mate, to be honest just curious why you have obviously GDB Rescue and Recovery but then also Stafford Breakdown and Recovery. Just curious really mate no hate keep doing what you're doing 👍
He uses the Stafford for local jobs
In the early YT days, GDB was just his YT channel name and not shown on the trucks until he started to get more subscribers. Stafford seems to be his trading name locally which would make more sense as people will know what area he covers from the name alone.
Good question not the first wont be the last, works a million times better for winning local work, wish I did it years ago.
Because GDB Recovery Ltd went bust so a new company was founded.
Someone's had a massive sub increase
Yes certainly creeping up now! Thanks for the watch, GDB
'ey up Greg 😎😎😎
YO YOO hope your good on this lovely wet day!
@GDBRescueandrecovery Busy morning, getting somethings sorted out, now going to head out and get some fresh air 😎
Hi
Morning thanks for tuning in! GDB
Any chance you can do a video breakdowns in Portsmouth
Thought this was the all singing worlds first Greg?

@@GDBRescueandrecovery makes sense
Are you still a one man band, or have you expanded workforce wise?
1.5 !
Tasha does a bit to help out
I don’t think it’s anyone’s business whether you waste money you’ve done well for self Greg spoil yourself !!!
Morning haha very true, is what it is! Everything happens for a reason here! Have a good Tuesday. GDB
Put the tipping body on transit .
Not a bad idea! GDB
where do you buy your spec lifts from ?
Anywhere on the internet no where special just keep your eye on the market etc
No one wants to say it. It didn’t sell because it’s old and WAY TOO MUCH MONEY!

Like most of his vehicles, buy a shed, paint it lime green and white, sell it for x10 what he paid for it.
