Are there photos of CMP airline connectors fitted to trucks?
Are there specific panels to fit under the door with a flap on them? Sounds a complicated way to fit the kit if you have to remove a panel and weld/bolt a new one in to fit the connector.

More questions than answers! If pushed I would go for the flap arrangement purely because there is evidence for it, but I'm not convinced yet.
There is no evidence for any flap, either in a manual or a photo.

The airline fitting on CMP trucks just bolts through the chassis rail with no additional panels or fixtures. The MCP just passes through a hole drilled in the running board.
