rippo Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 (edited) Hello, That box isn't from a QLD, the QLD toolboxs have flat doors and a cross pressed in the sides, also they have a leather strap on the door to hold it open, that looks like one from a QL tanker, this picture shows it quite clearly. The QLD ones don't have straps around them. Regards Rippo Edited February 28, 2012 by rippo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe there was a change in their manufacuring period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rippo Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Hello Richard, Your probably right mate, but all the pictures in Bart Vanderveens Book show a flat door, its a standard box used on the OYD and OXD i think the same box was used post war on bedfords too. Do you have any photos showing the cross on the door? Regards John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a WOT6 locker, if you rub the paint in the centre of the lid you will find the Ford WOT6 part number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
