I am looking at a couple of 2nd hand Nissans 2t and 2.5t. Is it easy to retrofit them with sideshift (as they dont have them) and what sort costs would I be looking at?

Or what about changing to a 3 stage container mast? Anyone if this is viable?

Nick,

It all depends if the plumbing hardware is there.

Do you have a third function on the control valve?
Is there plumbing/hose group already run to the carriage?

It can get ugly if these items are not in place and generally not cost effective.
