this seems a sencible place to ask.... What is the purpose of
the raised bumperette things that are direclty attached to the
chassis rear?

It was to stop the gun banging into the truck on steep inclines.

Nope, they are set too wide for that (and the rear spade used to
dig in first!); they are for bump starting off ships and inside
planes, means they could be loaded nose to tail.
That why the rubbers on the bumperettes end up in line with the
front bumper.
On a Tactical Air land Operation or TALO if the first truck
stalled the second basically rammed it off down the ramp so they
wouldn't get shot up stuck in the back.
Following on from that I don't know why they didn't add rubber
onto the normal Military series 2/ 3 rear bumperettes which were
designed for the same thing.

Looking good so far and as has been said previously, not often
we see 101's have the top quality treatment when rebuilt. Keep
it up! :thumbs:

Aah that's interesting, I never knew that. I can now tell people
about the bumperettes fitted to the crossmember of my
Lightweight. :smilewide:
