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.

Sylvain,

Great project, sad to hear it was butchered for the wrong reasons.

The bodies were manufactured by independent body manufacturers and could be fitted to either Ford or Chevrolet chassis.

The following scan may be of some help for its reconstruction:
