Question about Cab 12 Chevrolet FAT

[Alex van de Wetering]

Does any one know if it is correct that the fire extinguisher was placed to the right of the driver, beneath the sidewindow ? on a Cab 12 GT

Niels; I just checked Servicepub's Factory photos CD and it shows a pic of a cab 11 CGT interior. The Pyrene extinguisher is indeed located on the inside of the body side panel, next to the right leg of the driver......at an angle as per the hole orientation. It seems both Chev and Ford carried these in the same location (holes maybe pre-drilled by body manufacturer?)

Regarding the number of holes....My C8 also has 6 holes in the rear cab wall and I came to the same conclusion as you did. Both extinguisher brackets I bought online have 5 holes.....My conclusion is that it might have to do with the release mechanism.....my examples have the spring loaded thingy holding the top, but I have also seen them with an extra band/quick release thingy about 2/3 thirds along the extinguisher. Maybe that's the type using 6 mounting holes????
