I set the locker on the C8 frame today to see where it fit. In the photo at the bottom rear of the cab is a crosspiece that holds the gas tank. There's holes for another one about a foot farther back. Most of the pictures I've seen look like the tanks were mounted on a plank. Would the plank have fit between these brackets or were the metal brackets just a different setup? Also the cab 11 I got this off had running boards where no other pictures I've seen of C8s had them. It was a radio truck (it had the ground straps on all the sheetmetal and the brackets on the locker for the aerial) but there was no frame and the data plates were gone. I also need to know the dimensions for the gas tanks as I haven't found any yet and may have to fabricate some.
