Thanks Jaques,

Those are the same thoughts I had. I wondered if the last picture is a version of the hooks used for holding the side screen bag on the rear wall of the cab?

Yes, there are four fitted to the rear wall for suspending the canvas screen bag.

Hi Hanno,

That solves a 20 year old mystery for me too.

On the Australian built cabs they seem to have a different arrangement for retaining the curtains with a catch attached to a bracket on the lowers cab back. It can be seen through the loop of the rubber hose in the picture.
The door lugs on the bottom of the side curtains sat in wooden blocks.

The curtain bag holders came off an Australian built cab too so wonder why they were there?

BTW yes, that is a modern fire extinguisher in the old holder. I want one that works in an emergency and not a decoration!

Cheers,

Thanks Hanno,
Are these a Ford type? I have others which are more of a right angle bracket which I have seen in Chev trucks or is it a late war pattern?

Speaking for Canadian production: Ford used a curtain bag with four flat leather loops, Chevrolet used a bag with four metal buckles like on canvas straps. So the hooks on the back wall differed too. I know of 2 x 2 variations - see http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/sh...874#post184874

So much for standardization, eh?!?
