I've heard of a granada-bodied one as well.

hopefully mine will not end up quite so high off the deck.

now that's more the level of body lift I was aiming at with the transit plan
- something similar to the 4x4 transits that county made; taller, but only
as much as necessary.

I think if you were to put a transit body on a 4x4 chassis at the
height of that sierra you'd need to have stabilisers fitted to stop it
falling over on corners....

and a ladder for people to get in.

No, I have in mind a max. of about a foot of body lift, less if the wheel
arches and so forth will allow it. The body's gonna get mounted as low as
reasonably practical, and will possibly require removal of the turrets and
put rear-type dampers on the front axle. I don't really know what the
perceived advantage of those turrets was in the first place, compared with a
damper going to a chassis mount. It certainly doesn't make replacement any
easier!

cheaper to make?

possibly, but I rather doubt it makes that much difference. You don't have
extra mount to make on the axle (or chassis) but you have to have the ring
with 4 bolts in it and the turret itself.
