Note that the fourth picture shows a Morris-Commercial C8 FAT, not a Ford or Chevrolet FAT.

It looks like even Gregg could make mistakes!! These are all out of his Military Vehicles Profiles.

Bill Gregg
I'll have to go rip that page out of my copy! There is no way the rest of the truth should be forced to lie side by side with (gasp!), an error!

Are you looking for the 4x4 or prototype 6x6 version?
Meanwhile of the 4x4 FAT with 7B3 body, quite a few pictures were posted on MLU: see http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/sh...ad.php?t=16678 and http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/sh...ad.php?t=22614 for example. HTH, Hanno

While attaching the pictures to Mariano's postings, I noted the design of the cab was altered. If you look closely, you can see the cab frame extends outward at the rear to merge with the rear part of the body which is wider than the standard Cab 13.

Me neither; I had a closer look at one of the constructional drawings above, and noted the body is integral (cab and rear body are one). Hanno PS: now merged with earlier thread on the same subject

FGT 7B3 in Portugal
Mariano Paz spotted this snippet in Wheels & Tracks magazine no. 60. This photo was taken by Johan Dieffenbach in Portugal. This is the only indication I know of that the FGT with 7B3 body was used by the Portuguese Army
