Default 1941 f8

This is the winter project, a fairly complete f8,just missing a box.
I was wondering what the small back window is all about ?

They had a canvas speaking tube that hooked on those twist fasteners and went to the rear compartment.

Default Well done Anthony...

good to see a 800 cwt going to a good Canadian MLU home. I tried my darnest to talk Ernie out of those bloody 13 inch rims, but good on him he stuck to his guns and they stayed with your truck. Get yer done! Cheers Rob

If you don't mind Anthony I will add a clearer shot of your data plate for people here keeping track of the registry.

Anthony,
Gordon Piro in Yellowknife has a good 1B1 box that's right for your Cab 12. It's a long ways up there but it would be a good excuse for a summer road trip. I know because I did it a couple of summers ago. Here's a couple of pix I took of it in the back of an F15A.

Default fuel tanks

Is this the right fuel tank set up for a wire less body,
There is a fuel selector valve on the floor.Looks like there was a tank on both sides at one time.
