Alex, if you need any details of the body i.e. dimensions - I have the drawings that Ian Richardson (UK) sketched , Ian had access to a original very early 1A2 with the single rear lamp.
Hi Mike, thanks for the offer, but I already have them....David Pope sent them to me years ago, but it was you that sent me the Morris PU plans for the scale model I did at the time.

nteresting seeing the steel box for the mounting of the wireless set in that 8cwt 1A2 body. The line illustrations from the DND 8 cwt body publication show that a wooden table was fitted for the wireless set, similar to the British 8cwt FFW bodies. Just to the rear end of the wireless steel box is the long bracket for the fitting of three canvas 'signals satchels' quite a rare thing to see the bracket still there.
That's exactly what also caught my eye....rare details that aren't covered in Ians drawings. I recon the difference in wood vs steel box/tray for the Wireless might have to do with the type of set fitted. The 8cwt's were originally intended for a WS9 or WS11, but were later replaced with WS19.....which could be the reason for fitting a different (steel) tray (?)
