My first thought would be the Thornycroft Society Ltd. but presumably you have already approached them.

mike, i was just wondering if you know where i could get a workshop manual for a thornycroft big ben?
ive had one for a while and just got around to sorting it.
it was owned by redlad aggregates and was a vass conversion.

i am going to hazard a guess at a big ben dash as this is the same as is fitted to mine.

sorry, what i meant was the recovery boom be changed for a folding boom like you see on the back of some civi recovery vehicles. -

im currently out in afghan using the man,its a brilliant truck,plenty of power and excellent winches. we have had alot of teething problems with the wreckers but nearly alll of which are sorted or in the process of being sorted. as for ease of use, yes its easy if your eyes are there for the adaptors,it becomes a pain when they aren't or you want to get underneath the casualty,this can't be done because the boom doesn't go low enough. if i had one thing to change on the wagon it would be the boom, a big folding boom with the same lift capacity would in my eyes be a much greater piece of equipment.
