Some short boxed trucks seemed to have been modified by streching the short box......there it is.....the "lengthened short box", As far as I know it's still not sure when this was done, why or by whom. Fact is that a number of trucks with these lengthened trucks survive in Canada. The lockers between box and cab were scrapped and fuel tanks moved to the sides of the frame rails.

Thanks for sharing your findings, Alex. Helps me to scrub up my knowledge of Cab 11's and 12's.
As this F8 is a Cab 12, it could originally have been fitted with the "long box", right?
For me the question now is whether the replica box on the truck was copied from a "lengthened short box" or a "long box"?
