Lidded bins in Cab 11 1B1 body
David (Pope)
Going back to an earlier post of yours in this thread - was it only the radio version that had the lidded bins or did the personnel version have them too? Even earlier in this thread is a photo of my F8 before restoration - lidded bins, one seat in back and no trace of spare wheel holder. I'd particularly like to know what the spare wheel holder looked like - on the inner left side at the back of the box? David Moore Kingston

It was just the wireless versions that had the bins in the back. The Gs versions don't have any bolt holes in the fenders, None of the trucks I've seen have had the spare tire bracket in place so I can't help you there.

These drawings are from another thread. I guess some of the GS trucks had the bins along the sides although any I've come across didn't have any bolt holes in them.

I've been asked for more details to reproduce the top bows so here goes.
-the bottom channels aren't channel iron but have been bent to shape. The corners of the channel are rounded. The channels and the welded on plates are 1/8" material. -the channels are 57 1/4" long then the ends are welded on giving a total length of 57 1/2" -the end vertical pipes are tight against the channel and the end piece. -the centre vertical pipe is tight against the channel. -the holes through the channels by the vertical pipes are 3/8". These are for the bolts that hold the bow assembly onto the box. -the centre holes are in the centre of the 2" wide horizontal plate in line with the vertical pipes and are 3/4" in from the side of the channel. -the end holes are 1 1/4" from the end of the channel and 3/4" in from the side of the channel. -the footman loops are 2 3/4" between centres of the bolts. The footman loops are riveted in place. The inside rivet holes are 12 3/4" apart and centred on the centre vertical pipe. -those little holes along the sides of the channel are threaded for 1/4" NC bolts. One is centred on the middle vertical pipe and the rest are spaced every 7"

-the pipes are 3/4" plumbing pipes with an OD of1 1/8"
-the vertical pipes are 21 1/2" from the bottom end to the start of the bend at the top edge of the horizontal pipes. -the vertical pipes protrude through the bottom of the channel 3/4" -the end pipes are threaded 3/4" pipe thread below the channels. -the bends on the bows are 6" radius on the long side of the pipe. -the centre bow in the pipes is 3/4" above straight. -the angle braces are 13 1'2" on the long side -the pictures show how the horizontal pipes are made.

Mike, it's a bit under the 1 1/8" but all plumbers pipe must be the same to take the 3/4" national pipe thread.
1" tubing is 1" outside diameter but the hole isn't 3/4".
