Hello Philip,

Interesting project, is it a Ford or Chevrolet and can you share photos of it?

There is an FGT in Belgium restored from scratch by Stijn Van Haverbeke, maybe he made drawings.

Hi Hanno ,
Thanks for your intrest in my project ,
I bought my first gun tractor (Ford ) about 15 years ago , not knowing what I'd achieved , with lots of work to be done. Intend to restore it anyway.
Several weeks ago I bought a second truck , a Chevrolet gun tractor , cab 13 , engine , drivetrain and chassis are in fair state, photos will follow.

A very interesting project. Is the rear the same as on a 12cab FGT? I am in the process of hopefully buying a very, very rusty one and if I get it any drawings would be a real help.

I also consider that rear body but, the cost and transport was too much.
