These trucks were also fitted with First Aid boxes and this is where they were mounted.
A point of interest here is that whenever a vehicle is first obtained the cab is invariably filled with muck and mire, leaf litter and animal droppings. Don’t be too hasty to discard this stuff as some real gems can be found. In this particular case I found these bandages and they possibly were the original ones issued with the truck. Their condition certainly suggests that. In other vehicles I have found old tools, fittings and the like that later proved useful as templates or to reinforce the provenance of the vehicle.
Original fuel tank. We also found a supplementary drop tank in a scrap yard but I haven't photographed that as its buried on the truck tray somewhere. One day.
