Default storage lockers...

Thanks Andrew and Jim!
Had some free time to work out the storage lockers that go between the cab and rear body on the Duple-bodied C8.
I had no plans to go by, only one period photo of the truck, and very few photos of restored examples for reference. Add in the fact that all the lockers in the photos appeared different from each other and...
The Duple-bodied Morris had a locker arrangement with a pressed "X" pattern on one of the doors that appealed to me, so I decided to go that route.
Made the framework to mount the lockers over the fuel tanks out of angle iron and the sheetmetal was used from my first failed attempt at making a rear body, which I had stuffed back in a sea container here a year ago. Glad I kept it as the sheetmetal was all just about the right size for this project.
The pressed "X" pattern on the locker doors were donated from an old 5-gallon US fuel can I had laying around. Not exact, but I like it!

Thanks, David

p.s. Does anyone have any photos of the spare tire carrier I might use for reference?
