I have torched ( oops, I forgot thats a bad word ) many FATs looking for the ellusive straight frame rails and never seen one like this. Maybe since Brian's book shows many early models this is just a made up chassis with the reguar cab floor so as to have someplace to install a seat. All of the FATs I have ever seen have had the battery box on the frame. The 13 cabs moved it to the inside. I will ask Brian to borrow his book next week and have another perusal.
Ray (cab11ca)- I am in southern Ontario (near Brighton) if that helps you to get some measurments. I have a Gotfredson 11/12 cab Fat body that you are welcome to crawl around and get what you need.

Thanks Barry,
Steven has also told me the story of the "Battery Box" location of
the early FAT's, you was a very good teacher for him last year ?
Yes I "must" believe you both !!!!
Ook van mijn kant een vriendelijke groet,
