Dropsides and flatbeds we buy
Single cab dropsidesOpen deck behind the cabThe open body makes the deck and side panels easy to photograph. Include the full length of the bed, the headboard and the rear corners. Say if the floor is damaged, boards are missing or the side catches no longer hold. Tell us which racks and tool storage will remain on the vehicle.Crew cab dropsidesA rear seat row as wellDescribe the passenger area as carefully as the load bed. The seat count, belts and cab doors help explain the crew layout. A longer cab leaves a different amount of deck space, so give the body dimensions if you know them. Mention wear from work boots, torn seats and damaged rear trim.Flatbeds and fitted bodiesEquipment included in the saleA flatbed may have no folding sides, or may have been adapted with racks, storage or loading equipment. Explain the current arrangement and list anything that will be removed. For fitted powered equipment, describe known faults and provide the maker's details from existing paperwork. Include damage around its mountings in your photos.Selling your dropside?
Tell us how the body is fitted and what is staying on it. A description of the base vehicle alone can miss a damaged deck or missing sides. Keep body repair invoices and equipment records alongside the usual vehicle paperwork.
- Is the cab single or crew, and what body is fitted?
- Are the folding sides, hinges and catches complete and working?
- Does the deck have holes, damaged boards or corrosion?
- Which racks, toolboxes and other equipment are included?
- Does the vehicle drive, and are there chassis or mechanical faults?
- Are the V5C, body records and any finance settlement letter available?

Josh DayQuestions about selling your dropside
Does a dropside need to tip to be sold?
A dropside describes a body with sides that fold down; it does not mean the body tips. Tell us if yours also has tipping equipment, including any fault with it. If the deck stays fixed, describe the floor and sides. Photos of the body and its controls help distinguish the arrangement.
Can I sell a dropside with sides missing?
Yes. List which panels, hinges or catches are missing and whether the parts are stored elsewhere. Say if those loose parts will come with the vehicle. Include damage to the headboard or rear posts, since a photo of the deck alone may not show why a side no longer fits.
What should I say about the chassis?
Mention visible corrosion, damage and known repairs, and provide any invoices or garage reports you already have. Explain a failed MOT using the recorded reasons if available. You do not need to diagnose structural problems yourself. If someone has advised that the vehicle should not be driven, include that information.
Can you collect from a building site or depot?
Free collection is available from work as well as home or a garage. Give the address and explain access arrangements, including gates, parked machinery or a restricted entrance. Tell us if the vehicle cannot move under its own power. Agree what is included before clearing materials and personal equipment from the deck.
How do finance and payment work?
For a financed dropside, obtain a current settlement letter and tell us about the agreement when requesting the valuation. Vandervan settles finance as part of the sale. The team explains the next steps from that information. Payment is on collection day before loading, and collection can be as soon as the next day.
