What do the Rules of the Road require if I want to make my bakkie a flatbed?

Question:

Hi I want to convert my bakkie to a flatbed! What is the maximum size I can make the flatbed? The baKkie load bin outside dimensions is 2mx2m.

Answer:

The maximum width that a vehicle can be is 2.5 m and the rear overhang may not be more than 60% of the wheel base of the vehicle.

Once the vehicle is modified you will require a letter of authority and a new mass certificate.
