Callum M Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Why do some MWD/MWC trucks have the mesh forwards of the Front Panel and others (notably WW2 photos) have the mesh behind the Front Panel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landrover nick Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Hi this is an interesting question my own 1942 build MWR has the grill to the front of the panel, looking in the parts book the number for the grill (Bedford call it the stone guard ) stays the same throughout the MW production but several of the part numbers relating to the grill mounting all change at chassis number 21810 ,the same parts book shows windscreen wipers first fitted at chassis number 26308 so it would appear that the change happened near to the replacement of the aero screens with the fully enclosed cab the change from open to closed cab was some time in 1941 Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callum M Posted November 8, 2015 Author Share Posted November 8, 2015 Many thanks Nick, interesting stuff indeed. I must say I prefer the aesthetics of the early models. cheers Callum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
