Philip,

No blueprints that I know of, but I posted a drawing in this thread. Maybe there are more out there - who has access to the AEDB Design Records?

HTH,

Look what I had to work with, spent a day at the Newtonville wrecking yard measured up real FAT.

Thanks Walde

...I have heard few days ago, from a guy who has a nice and complete cab 12 CGT, that the sections (blue rectangled) of the cab 12 and cab 13 rear bodies are identical, all the boxes, doors etc., could anyone confirm that, please? It would be than much more easier to rebuild the missing parts for my cab 13. rear body, if it could be just copied from the nice one that is so close...

BTW - great base for the FAT, congrats!

iirc there is one of these sitting out at McLean auto wrecker near Milton Ontario. It has been the subject of a lot of photographers who take pictures in the old yard. https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/i...YYfHDaWCipWVLg

I found a link to a large number of photographs of reasonable size including some of the FGT and other CMPs here, particularly from about the 50% mark.

Loads of interesting pics distracting from finding the FGT!

Here's one pic of it: https://www.flickr.com/photos/437091...sautowreckers/

Others can be found from roughly this page onward as Keith mentioned: https://www.flickr.com/groups/mclean...rs/pool/page11

The bigger question is: Is it still there or has someone rescued it?

I got the last 12 cab FAT out of there but there was a 13 cab FAT there. It's just a cab and chassis but they belong to Stew Robertson if anyone is interested. There are a few other CMPs but you may need a chainsaw to get what's left of them out.

OK rusty old truck lovers, now let's get back to topic: Frankie wondered if the rear section of the FAT bodies are identical?

As far as I can tell - based on observation - is that the rear sections are indeed the same. Can anyone confirm?
