Cargo tool box door

Post by dr deuce »

Just a note as I probably have more miles on my CCKW cargo than anyone else (~90,000)

I noticed the other day the there seemed to be a gap in the hinge on the toolbox door on one side. On closer examination it appears that the hinge had broken off a bit on the drivers side. I summise that this is from bumpy roads and torquing the body on twisted surfaces.

pretty difficult to believe, since I finished restoration seven years ago I've done 9000 miles with countless hours with grease gun, brakes adjustment, oil changes, tyres punctuation, electric malfunctions and so on, also as I've just done 300 miles this weekend (mostly on secondary, third rate and dirt roads) I can hardly believe one could have bottom hard enough to withstand such punishment :D
