Is this correct : the main diff between the no8 and no9 tractors for the rear are,the roof height no9 higher,the rear door single on no8 and the spare wheel carrier on the RH side of the no9 and lockerbox's on no8.
the extra side doors (rear seat) are they all the same dual cab and ford and chev, any help would be great.

That's it in a nutshell Jason. The No9 has a pair of doors on the rear and is designed to carry a spare inside with the ramp stowed on the RH outside.
The No8 also has a stowage box on the RR outside for the side curtains while the No9 has a canvas bag behind the crew seats. The No8 also has a lot more internal stowage.

Yes, but they are either Chev or Ford (there are differences) and are made by cutting and modifying front doors.

Default Doors

They are interchangeable but the GM-H manufactured doors have a different pattern on the inside.
