Yours looks to have had the smaller type fitted, that uses the same holes as the D rings, though the bumper could have been switched at some point.

Thank you for your reply, Niels, i Thought so...
Could you please send me a picture of the "Scotch hooks" on your FAT?

Were they same on Chev and Ford? I do not think so... They look more "pig-tailed" on the Ford...

Hi Frankie
If you go to this: http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/sh...667#post226667
you will see a photo of a bumper I have with the hooks. I can take more photos if you need.
Cheers,
Barry

Thank you all.

Barry: thank you for your offer, but it seems that the Ford ones differ Would be cool to find a complete bumper as your one is!

Looking through my pictures it seems that the hooks on the bumper are a Cab 13 "thing" and not fitted to Cab 11 or 12. and sadly the Cab 13 FAT I have access to does not have the original bumper

Relax Frankie!! Your vehicle is late production (ie. 1944-45) which includes certain features:

1. FORD CANADA front shell
2. Military dashboard (ie. round gauges)
3. Late type bumper (includes provision for late type front fairleads as shown below)
4. various cab improvements (eg. windscreen demister slots)
5. sling hubs front & rear

Just to clarify early/late bumper difference:

Cab 13 early-late production bumper.jpg


Example showing front mounted spring bumper. These appeared in mid-late '45 production.

...and here's a late production FAT depicted in drivers handbook showing late type fairleads, rear-mounted spring bumper, scotch hooks fitted. This is how Czech examples would have been configured.
