Hi Robert, here we go again.

1. Floor in the Carryall was 1" American Oak, presumably Weapons
Carrier was the same.

2. It does sound like one of the later Weapons carriers which was
originally 12V, hence batteries etc.

3. Bed length varied from early to late, and Canadian built ones had
different length again. I have seen several with the big gap you
describe, with or without matching drivers running board length. If
the running board length stops at the back of the spare wheel someone
MAY have changed the bed for a shorter one, if the running board goes
all the way to the start of the bed (basically if you can stand on it
behind the spare wheel) I would assume both the board and the bed are
'right' for the vehicle.

4. Best idea I ever heard for cleaning tank was posted on the list a
few weeks ago, (apologies for forgetting who it was in Germany that
posted it) Basically pull the tank, remove the sender, break up a
couple of side windows made from safety glas (CAREFULLY) put the chips
inside the tank and tie it on the front of a cement mixer and run it
for half an hour.

5 Any brake shop should be able to make brake lines, preferably in
Cunifer (Copper / Nickel / Iron alloy) rather than mild steel.

6 and 7 Crash pads and radio - no idea. Gordon 8-))
