Default F8 Storage/tool boxes

Good evening,

Can anyone help with drawings and dimensions for the two storage/tool boxes which go between the cab and rear body on an F8 or C8?

James

Hi James,

Ian Richardson did a set of plans, which have found their way to fellow 8cwt owners over the years. I received them from Mike Kelly, and I was just looking at the plans last week, for my own project.

Send me a PM with your email-address and I will send the drawings to you.


Are you thinking of changing the box on your F8 back to factory 1A2 layout? Please note that allthough the storage boxes are the same, the fuel tank assembly is different between the C8 And F8.

Alex

Default plans

Hi

The plans are measured from the cab 11 C8 now owned by Nick Bullock ? If you PM Nick , you can maybe arrange a eye ball of the truck ? Nick is in Yorkshire somewhere . Mike
