When looking at the pictures the 2 vertical pieces of angle iron under the raised cab are there for safety reason, and are not part of the vehicle. the two pieces mentioned are clearly seen in the picture at the start of this thread.

Alan I have started to draw out the pieces and hope to get a wiggle on soon.
