YES I agree . The 8 cwt truck version looks to be different to the carrier base .


All we can do is go by the photos . I doubt if an original truck type exists anywhere . This is an area of some confusion and more research is required

Ron , I have a coulpe of lathes . Machining is no problem . can you give an approx. cost of your casting ?

Also, there were two types of antenna rods in use . 5/8 " and 7/8 " from memory.
