Default ....but necessity.......

....in North Africa....doors got lost....great for jumping out when shot at... grills were for cooking if you had wooden boxes, hood were a pain in maintenance so off they went...... windows lasted as long as they lasted but were never replaced...... bumbers were removed or shortened.....and some roofs blew away......results ...A large size British Geep....fuel filler modified so tall to be even with the toolbox height....


.....I have seen pictures of very early cab 11 on parade square with the doors wide open and tied to the cargo box....

Cheers

PS other cab 12 mods...... retaining straps to keep the suicide doors from being slammed against the cargo box....., no fuel filter inside the frame......
............ or maybe they were short of parts when mine was built!!!!

.....my cab 11, which always stayed in Canada, had no marker lights on the fenders, no hooks to keep the doors open while driving, no blackout light and no rear axle light, no water expansion tank, no roof hatch, rear window is glass and does not slide open.......


Cheers for the ODD ones!!!!!!
