Default Cargo body F60S LAAT pictures from inside

can somebody help me with pictures of the cargo body inside of the F60S LAAT with all the boxes filled or can somebody tell me what there must be in the boxes of the LAAT cargo body.
I know at the floor there must be two spare barrels and behind the seat there must be a toolbox for the Bofors.

and can some body tell me why are there holes at the left top and left floor side of the cabine.

At the boxes on the outside there must be some tools like a shovel or an axe have somebody pictures where the position of all the tools must be.

Eric

Hi Eric,

Those holes are there to fit a chimney which was part of the SCWE (Special Cold Weather Equipment) - see pics here: http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/sh...366#post271366

Hello Mariano

Nice old time pictures I can use them to make the cushion and the rear curtain.
I have the eight ammo boxes in the correct areas but if any one have more pictures please post them so we help each other.
When the Ford is out of the garage I will make some detail pictures of the boxes.


Eric

Yesterday the Ford was out of the garage and made the pictures I promised

So I looked at the cabine and all the holes for a cold winter set where there is this a special cabin or have all the late cabines this standardized the date of delivery is Oct 1944

It was a feature of many (if not all) late Cabs.
