Can't say I'll be much help there, if it was the metal frame you wanted, they are only welded angle iron and can soon be made so long as you have a pattern.

 

I am kicking myself a bit at the moment, I took the passengers side one out of my timber tractor as I didn't want it, Cut it up to extend the drivers side one then scrapped the remains along with a spare one I'd acquired a good few years back, only to find that the tanker one is missing, so I've got to make one up for that.

 

As for wooden toolboxes, I don't recall ever seeing any, just a flat board where you would dump your webbing and other stuff on! That said there was/is some bits of plywood sort of stuff that was in the back of the tanker cab, I wonder if they are the remains of such a toolbox. Further investigation required there before throwing anymore away.

 

Anyhow, I feel a bit of a reprimand is called for here. Just turning up with your new Milly without a proper introduction and some photographs of the old girl is dashed bad form old chap. That said congratulations on joining the ranks of the slightly deaf but grinning Militant owners, welcome aboard

Hi again,

I did an introduction the other day, I am wondering if it was posted now, I should have got the kids to check it out lol. I have the frames still in my Milly if you require any measurements. I am still rewiring a new dashboard, and on the hunt for some new tyres as I got picked up for the tyres last MOT, he did say he would let it go as he didn't think I would be doing a lot of mileage.

Are you talking about the trays that are actually behind the seats or the bins that are at head height, behind the seats

Hi Zero-Five-Two I am after to the boxes that sat in the trays behind the seats, I have been told they were toolboxes that sat in the frame with the webbing straps on, just above the batteries, also I have only one bin on the passenger's side at head height, there are two brackets behind driver's seat for the bin, but its missing.

Looking to refurbish cab and body to original specifications, if you can help with the following items, please get in touch.

2 x Tool boxes (Internal tool/stowage bins behind seats)

A copy of (C.E.S) Complete Equipment Schedule P337884

Tailgate ladders

Rust flaps

Looking good Neil, so happy with my Milly (38EP19).

I enjoyed my trip home from County Carlow Ireland, 165 miles (No ear defence) to Omagh, I was actually wishing I had another 2 hours at the wheel. I was even happier when she passed MOT.

Good luck and thanks for your help so far.

Hutch

Hi Troops,

I am Hutch from Omagh / Bristol born, Ex-Mil, Tankie and Infantier, boys service/mans service 1975 - 1988. (9/12RL - 4 RTR) After I joined the reserves and managed to get another few years, I am currently working in the security industry in Afghan.

Recently purchased an AEC Militant MKI (1966) Formerly 38EP19 keen to hear from any Milly owners to swap info. I am currently bogged down with re-wiring the new dash and ignition switch, other than that I am saving up for new tyres. Happy to be on the HMVF as its as good as a User Handbook.
