CCKW Shop Van

Post by robc »

Having obtained a fuel tank for my ST5 Shop Van, when I went to install I found the bracket mounting holes in a different postion on the body?, I am now in the process of drilling holes in the body crossmembers to fit this tank, I do know this tank came from a ST6 body, anyone out there know of this difference?
There is another difference, the rear door catches differ also, my Shopvan the catches are held in place by six screws, catches from the same body as fuel tank are held in place by 4 screws and somewhat different in design, its causing me a problem as one of mine is missing, just cant find a six hole catch, although now I have plenty of the 4 hole type!!
Thanks in advance.
