Not all created equal.......
Hi Brian
Raising the seats seemed to have been more popular with the cab 11/12 using various wooden spacer depth.
Remember that the typical WW 2 Canadian soldier was somewhat smaller and shorter..... so at both end of the spectrum you would have shorter drivers who could benefit from a booster seat and have been informed by an old artillery guy with experience on the CGT that it was common to remove the seat cushion and replace it with a folded woolen blanket for the tall guys.
On some of the cab 11/12 that I have I have observed different thickness of wooden spacers thickness and usually only on the passenger side.
From experience I can tell you that being 6'2" a riser would elevate my legs enough that I could not use the clutch pedal, my thigh hitting the bottom of the steering wheel.....also I would be staring at the windchill wiper motor a lot.
I hope the designer of the cab11/12 is still in Purgatory........
Cheers
