Hanno, you just never know what will show up when you dig through the photo collection! This one is even from the right side to show the construction method. What are the footman loops on the wheelwells for?

David, you just proved the stowage division board in steel bodeis was made of sheet steel. The ones on the wooden bodies look like they were made of wood.

What are the footman loops on the wheelwells for?

As Barry said, these are used to fix a pair of seats to the wheel well. A pic (courtesy of Colin Macgregor Stevens) is shown below. See my web page on the PERS-3 15-cwt personnel truck for more information, including a parts list.

Anyone got more (detailed) pictures of this seat setup?

Thanks,
Hanno
