Default C60L/F60L GS...centre bench seats?

This picture came from the forum....but I can't seem to find out where it came from. Does anyone have any info on these centre seats/benches in the C60L/F60L GS trucks? Any period pics? details?

A CMP owner here in Holland has a C60L which has some holes in the front panel of the body.....it might be a remainder of this centre bench(?)

I am guessing that photo would be from either Rob Fast or Derk Derin. Looking at the trees in the background, I would say it was at Rob Fast's. I found that truck back in the mid 90s, and sold it to Derk who sold it to Rob. I bought it back last year for the museum (who decided they didn't want it) so it now resides at my place. The benches are still there.

When I bought the truck, they were not in the cargo box. The owner took my to their old farmsite where the benches were found laying on a hill at the edge of the property, the portable tool box and manual were in the house, along with the original trouble light. The truck has the PTO air compressor and the original hose was still hanging in the cab on one of the rifle clips.

Hi Rob,

Thanks for your reply. Good to hear the truck is still there!

Attached are some pictures of the body front wall of the truck here in Holland. Do these holes match the ones in your truck?
