I am in with Rob that there was NOT 37 gun tanks made into cab tanks, and cannot see the CF buying 37 cab tank kits. Like really, 1/3 of the gun tanks being made into D&M cabs makes zero sense. If that was the case where would 37 turrets end up ? Now my memory may not be what it was but six was the number I can recall up to the mid 90s at the School and I doubt there was 31 cab kits held in stores, and as Rob points out there where zero cab tanks in Germany.
Further on this the cab portion when installed on a C1 hull allowed the driver instructor (in the cab) to override the driver in the hull. I hate assuming anything but the cab kit would have everything for the swap and I cannot see any need to "modify" a gun tank hull for steering/shifting/braking.
