CMP differences: Ford vs Chevrolet

[David Dunlop]

Hi Svenn.

What my aging eyes see in the photos you posted are the large clips for the Enfields, a set of four Ford Side Curtain Bag clips, one version of the First Aid Kit stowage clips and the large item in the last photo is a mystery to me.

I think the Chev crank handle is a one piece heavy steel bar and it was stored with the rest of the vehicle tools in whatever outside storage bins the particular Chev was equipped with, so there should not be any handle brackets for it.

As for the Fire Extinguisher being stored behind the Side Curtain Bag, that may in fact have been the last place a Fire Extinguisher was mounted, but not the original place. As Brian suggested, check elsewhere in the cab for a set of holes that matches up with the bracket. It could very well be that over time in service, the Side Curtain Bags became redundant and their use was discontinued. That would have left the rear wall of the cab open for anything to be mounted there.

Regards,


David
