Reference: Top Bows - 15-cwt truck

[Hanno Spoelstra]

Bob, Grant,

I'll post my measurements later, first need to transform my scribbling into something presentable.

I also found a refence to top bows for the 2B1 box: there were two types, the second one had the vertical tie bars as on the later 2C1 and upwards bodies.

Not sure what you have there Bob, show us some pictures ;-)

But the 15-cwt top bows were made from a single piece of tube, so no threaded joins with union section. CMPs were not designed to go in a sea can as they had not been invented yet - sorry Bob, but you will have to take off your top bows every time you store the truck. Or discard originality and copy the system on the 3-ton truck where the bows could be set in a high or low position.

More later.
