I honestly think they did it on purpose so confused later generations

Yes....or to confuse "ze Germans".....they seem to have made a habit of reusing allied trucks. "Different floor plates....that will keep them occupied for a while...."

I will be in the workshop on weekend and will measure floor plate.

Hi Jacek

Almost a shame to paint it OD green.

I am also getting someone to measure the floor plates on a C8.

Cheers

Bob, let me know if you need any extra feedback on the C8 floor plates as I plan to paint mine this weekend.

The C8 from Gord measures at 7 3/4 in on one side and 8 inches on the driver's side.

Will get measurements and photos of mine this weekend.

Cheers

When I was assembling the cab 11 C8 cab, I found a few rough and ready discrepancies . The drivers side arch bar was twisted , this caused the wing to sit up a a strange angle .

The other thing was, the panel under the same arch bar had been banged with a mallet a few times to make it fit in place. There was no evidence of any accident damage to any other parts eg chassis . I reckon this ad hoc fitting was done at the factory - it took them a while to work things out .

I believe I have a May 1940 made C8 , going by the research I did .
