If you have the measurements please do dig them out it could be fun to see how much they vary.
Niels, Silvain, the FAT.....or actually two FATs, I measured, lacked most of rear body and lids. Attached is a pic of the side, rearmost lid. The other pic shows the side bin right above the rear wheel; sadly the lid was missing.
The measuring aid--> large white and black blocks are 5cmx5cm, small blocks are 1cmx1cm

By the way, both trucks were for sale as a job lot, with one very good chassis. They might still be available(?). Peter Geert Hommes was the broker for the trucks.

Attached are pics of the doors, inside and outside. The drawing shows measurements in cm (and just noticed some are in mm)

hello
And thank you very much for all this precious mesurements! And in metric!

After what I foud on internet they used recuted Ford A door hinge , What about the hatch, is it also reused from an other wehicle or only cmp?

I see the truck that you pictured was painted in white inside , that's also the case of mine, is it original ,or post war?

What about the lids lock , are they standart, or will I have to rebuilt them?

Thank you again,
Sylvain
