Default Drop Side Cargo Box the Cats Meow

Hi Shane

As Tony says grab the drop side if it is in restorable or useable condition. As body swapping was common, using it on an earlier chassis would not be out of place. Take a look at the pictures on my web page (link below) showing drop sides on Pat 11 or 12 in use in North Africa and else where. These photos were posted on MLU over the years. Besides it will serve until you find the perfect body.

But I'll give you another reason though, the drop side cargo box is the most useful body you can imagine. So much easier to use than a tail gate only cargo body. After looking at pictures of the Australian drop side bodies I fabricated one for my C60L Pattern 12 and it is the most useful truck I have ever owned. http://canadianmilitarypattern.com/P...20a%20Body.htm

What I don't understand is why only the Australians figured out that the drop side design had so many useful advantages.

Cheers Phil
