Technical detail question: passenger step design
One of the slight oddities about the way the Chev was rebuilt is that the passenger step appears to be set about an inch too far forward, preventing the fitting of a mudflap.
I've been to photograph the Chev cab13 Wrecker in the REME museum at Arborfield and the difference is clear.
Can someone confirm that the REME museum set-up is "correct"?
Just seems odd that the rear vertical bracket is fitted in such a way as to reduce the space for a second battery (if one was ever fitted).
Any views welcome as I plan to try to move the step and supports back into a similar position.
Thanks
