I am not absolutely sure these are for 3 tons. I have had the 3 ton boxes and I think they are a touch longer. I was the one who spotted these out in my favorite scrapyard where Derk eventually bought them.
Might be best to get some measurements and compare them with known 3 ton boxes. Hanno: I think there will be a difference between chev and Ford boxes these days. A ford box will be rusty from all the extended years of use, whereas the chev ones will be near mint. Between the leaking oil and the short service life of tChevs, they did not get the same life as the Ford boxes. However, I suspect they were the same from the factory.

They look a little different than the ones on these http://www.ebay.ca/itm/CMP-C60L-1944...itary_Vehicles
I'll look through the CD from service publications for them. The latch system is the same as my Trailer tailgates.

Actually,I just had a look at Canada's fighting vehicles and I see a mix of both kinds used...the longer one and the shorter one. There does not seem to be much rhyme or reason as to whether it is on a cargo or a van box.....I see either type on the various trucks. Perhaps there was a change based on dates? I have seen some changes in stowage when production was altered for the jerry cans vs the POW cans.

Measurements
I measured the box and it is;
29 inches wide 14 1/2 inches high 18 inches deep Maybe somebody can measure their 3 ton boxes and compare the dimensions to see if they are the same. Derk.
