I never met Tom, but he sounds like quite a character.
So in the scrapyard picture in the other thread, is the chassis already cut? seems reasonably long, but hard to tell.

As mentioned, the axle internals were not changed by choice, but of necessity. I don't know for certain whether the chassis had been cut by the time of the photo but think it unlikely otherwise John Butler would have mentioned it. When Tom got the remains the chassis had gone along with a lot of the other bits.
