good bye C60 hello ford fat

Hi Sylvain
It looks like a rebuild rear end, but of the right design.
The hatchs have the correct shape but the way they are constructed are not correct, I have attached a picture of how they schould look, they are made of one folded sheet.
I have also attached a picture of when mine was rebuild back in the early nineties.
The weld of sheet to the frame on mine is originally very crude, have attached a picture, so dont be to worried about that.

Thank you very much for this pics!
I think the walls are original and the inner was rebuit.
I will have to changes some steel plates and weld some kilometers!!

Regards
Sylvain

Please - are the hatches the same design on cab 13 FATs?
Thank you

From what I have seen the rear body of a Cab 12 and Cab 13 gun tractor, look very identical. But I havent measured a cab 13 to confirm it.
Maybe some of our Cab13 CGT owners can help?

Sorry, I thought the style of the doors, not the dimensions... that thay are made of one piece folded sheet.. I won't hack this thread anymore, will ask somewhere else

Yes construction of the doors is the same . The doors are not made out of 1 piece , it is a flat piece folded over with a triple folded piece in it , do you get it ? , not so easy to make the folded piece . modern folding machines are pressing from the top , and won`t work .

Hi
Here are the measurements of the hatches on my CGT.
They might vary a bit from vehicle to vehicle.
