Default fuel tank questions

c8 fuel tank questions
-On my c8 it has the front fuel tank mount (the one with the handbrake linkages on it )as seen on a 1a2 bodied c8 but not the rear one(has the bolt holes there)
-Did any of the australian bound ones have the 1a2 body or the 1b1 or were they all duple ?
-Are that variety of fuel tank 1 large fuel tank or are there 2 end to end ? (in the cab there is a fuel tank change over valve)
-In the third attached picture it shows standard cmp fuel tank brackets fitted . This would be a later tack on wouldnt it ?
Thanks

Default cab 12 mystery chassis bracket

Max made a discovery today about the mystery bracket as shown earlier in the thread
apparently it is used to hold the toolbox or spare tyre carrier (the ones made of wood ) from hitting on the cab
Good detective work max

Not this type then, as the bracket would be somewhere through the middle of the tyre!?!?

I would interested in see a picture of the box, wheel bracket, what ever attached to this bracket. This obviously is not an Austrailian only part as I have one on my `41 Pattern 12 Chev C60L as well. An my truck came out of Vermont, USA so obviously it is was a Canadian part as well.

Picture below shows my truck as found.

the bracket behind the cab is for a steel frame tyre carrier, I must have given you the wrong info on that one Andrew. I was in a bit of a muddle the other night as Hugh was waiting to load an old trailer we had, it was midnight when we finished and it was one of the gooddies in the tunnel that turned heads when they drove through
