How To: Autocad Dwgs. Available of 15-cwt Body Type 2J1 Bolted Steel G.S.

You were quite right Mike, these drawings took a very considerable length of time to complete. Fortunately I did have a box from which I obtained accurate and complete measurements of the various sections. To create a set of dwgs. of other body types I would require access to these types.

Regarding welds, there was a fair amount of welding required to complete each section before this body type was bolted together. The majority were simple fillet welds.

One item of note is the discrepancy in measurement of the height of this box (Manufactured by Canadian Top & Body) compared to the measurement by William A Gregg in his excellent book, Canadian Military Vehicle Profiles. He shows the height of the box from the underside of the cross sills to the top as 22" while mine has a dimension of 25- 5/16". I suppose various manufacturers on a war footing with the materials available, did construct boxes with slightly different measurements, as long as the final product fitted.
