()NE of the first crew cabs to be
mounted on a Ford D chassis was built by Reeve (Coachbuilders) Ltd., of Pilsley, near Chesterfield, and shown by the concern at an engineering equipment exhibition earlier this month at faunton, Somerset. This example—the vehicle illustrated—provides accommodation for II men in addition to the driver, there being two bench seats in the rear portion, one for five and one for four. A current development is a shorter version with a three-man bench seat behind the driver's, and double passenger seats.
Construction of the crew area, which is added on to the basic Ford D cab in the original design, uses hard
wood for the framework reinforced with mild steel brackets and gusset plates. Exterior panelling of the sides and roof is of 18 s.w.g. light-alloy sheet and the back of the cab and floor are of 0.75 in. resin-bonded plywood. The crew compartment is provided with a door on the nearside only and this has a drop window.
All seats face forward and have rubber foam cushions and backrests.
The six-seater crew cab now being developed also has its additional bench seat facing forward and a door on the nearside only, and in this model the maximum Possible use of Ford parts has been made, including the rear pressing of the cab.
