How To: Ford CMP "Blitz" miscellany

[Jacques Reed]

Hi Robert,

Thanks for the photo looks like the sills are only about 1" thick which is the same size that my mates Ford stake side body sits on.

Now if I can only find why someone went to the trouble to recess those channels into the transverse cross members I would be really happy. If not original, recessing them seems like a lot of work for no apparent reason.

Bet as sure as I would cut out those channels on mine and weld my other channels on top of those cross members someone would find that there was a wartime modification to lower the floor, or the center of gravity, or some other reason.

Think I'll wait and won't do anything too hasty, not that I do it the best of times!

Cheers,
