Chev C8 IA2 Hoops (boughs, rear frame etc)

[BCA]

GM and Ford CMP parts books generally did not cover the rear bodies since they were made by various sub-contractors. There was a Body Parts List for D.N.D. Special Pattern Bodies to describe all of the body parts not dealt with in the usual parts books. The individual bows were described either as "Hoopsticks" or where there were more complicated cross bars etc then the entire assembly was call a Superstucture. It appears that if there were extensions or legs attached to the horizontal curved bow then the bow part was described as "bow, hoopstick". "Unfortunately the last D.N.D. Body Parts List that I have seen is dated October 1941 so only deals with early CMP's. Maybe a later version has been spotted by others?
