Default more info on pics

The pics show the post war "Korean cab" which was an army rebuild.
Even then the rust points in the cab roof were an issue.

I note the second locker is slightly deeper, and the spare wheel mount on the bumper suggests this truck may not be a GS one. Any ideas?
The canopy is the full sheet, rather than the fitted type seen on the light trucks like C15A or C8AX.

I met Dave Mowat in the late 1980's who was then a RNZEME Major, but had been a craftsman back in the day. He related how they had built these cab roofs
when he was an apprentice. (We were looking at my C8AX which was stored in the Army hall at the time. The system chased me out a few months later.)
