Default FAT chassis details

Barry,

Since you have been up close and personal with so many gun tractor chassis, I hope you have learned enough from gas-axing them to help with this: Rolf and I were discussing a CGT chassis he has. The spring shackles and winch cross member are bolted to the frame, rather than riveted. Could this have been the result of a rebuild? His CGT has double chassis rails, but with no data plates remaining, how can one determine if this is not a shortened 3-ton chassis?

Ook met vriendelijke groeten,
Hanno
