Default No9 info

Good day gentlemen, I have a few questions about the No9 Australian CGT’s I was thinking about making a No9 body for my Canadian CGT that’s missing the rear body -I figure I can scale the pictures out there to get the sizes right, but one questions remains; My cab is spring mounted, and the rear section would have been hard mounted to the chassis, it looks like the entire No9 was hard mounted to the chassis, and does anyone have shots taken from underneath for mount placements, brackets, etc?
I’ve started to disassemble my truck now and I’ve been collecting parts as I go –quite the treat trying to remove those old tires -took me over an hour each!

Thanks

Default Drawings

There are in existence a series of engineering drawings for the CGT and FGT No9 (Aust). You may like to contact Euan McDonald about them.

And yes, the rear body was hard mounted to the chassis, with the wooden rear floor barely clearing the winch drum.
