CMP differences: Ford vs Chevrolet

[David Dunlop]

Hello again, Svenn.

The Curtain Bag hung on the 4 larger hooks. The Parts Manual does not show special hardware for them and as I recall, they were mounted with the bolts attaching the roof assembly to the rear cab wall, roughly centred on the back wall. Maximum spacing was close to the width of the Cab 13 door. There was a difference between the Chev and Ford Curtain Bag hooks. Chev I think were curved, whereas the Ford hook was more angular. I am sure someone can confirm that with photos for you.

Initially, the First Aid Kit was hung on a single smaller hook (again with no special hardware) to the left side of the Curtain Bag. At some point in production, the single hook fitting for the First Aid Kit was replaced with a pair of hooks. They were assigned different stock numbers so I suspect they were not identical hooks.
