Default curtain bag's

If the side screens are in the bag, the top of the bag protudes above the lower edge of the rear window.

Also, the first pattern bag with the brass eyelets has a strap on the bottom, but my Ford does not have anything fitted to the floor / lower cab edge where the strap could be fitted through. Can anyne with a Chevrolet check if there is some kind of eyelet on the cab floor?

So I agree with you: the first pattern bag shown, with the canvas straps and brass eyelets would fit the Chevrolet hooks, the second pattern with two rows of canvas straps would (better) fit the flatter, angular, hooks in the Ford cab.

Can anyone confirm / add to this?

  • First pattern - for Chevrolet?

  • Second pattern - for Ford?

Hey Hanno

I think this might be the solution to your question for the curtain bag with a strap at the bottom.

the following pictures were taken in a c15a 13 cab of 1944.

here on the bottom of the rear wall a footman loop is mounted probably to attach the belt.

also as you can see, this has round hooks to hang the bag.

Hey Guy,

I think you are right: the strap at the bottom of the Chevrolet curtain bag certainly matches the footman loop at the rear cab wall.

Thanks,
Hanno

Default First aid bag

Can anyone provide a picture of the first aid bag for a F60S please?
I have the sidescreen bag, its hooks and the brackets for the first aid bag but no bag.
