On my top hoops the holes to hold the sides down are threaded 1/4" NC and are spaced 7" apart.

Thanks for taking the time to share more of your experience with constructing a frame for the 8cwt, David.
Indeed, the pictures seem to suggest that only the Wireless trucks had the poles on the sides and the personnel versions didn't....but Mike makes a fair comment...I am not sure if this applies for the Duple bodies. Alex

thanks....
Thanks everyone for the help and kind words!
I think I might not go with the folding legs since it won't be equipped as a wireless truck,(at least for now),plus I have plans for the area where the legs would go.... I may make brackets off the sides of the rear body to hold a pair of sand channels/ladders. The channels haven't been made yet, but it is on my mind, which brings my next question..... Does anyone have an original sand channel to get the dimensions from? Thanks again, David Last edited by David DeWeese; 12-03-16 at 11:55.

Hi,
It's been a while since I've posted with progress on the C8. Been taking it to shows for the past couple of years, but thought it needed something new... I got the itch to put a ws19 set on the truck. Bought a cheap transceiver, and figured I was half way to a complete set...boy, was I wrong!  Anyway, here is where the set is as of today. Still need some cables and such, but now see light at the end of the tunnel.. The transit chest is probably not correct for war-time use, but it certainly is handy. Original Bren chest hardware on it courtesy of Rob Love. Thanks, David

Nice on on the chest.
Gald you are still alive and kicking.
There were some kind of similar chest used by the military late in the war....some black and white picture showing them stacked up like cord wood. The old style hardware makes it look good. Bob C

Glad to see you are still alive and kicking.
