    Was there a bell on the GP 7?
    If there is, where is it located?
    I have looked at numerous photos and I just can't seem to locate it.

    Like you, John, I can't prove it with photographic evidence, but my understanding is that it was mounted on the fireman's side under the frame, behind the front truck and ahead of the fuel tank.

    Wow, good question. If it was located under the frame, it really must have been hidden. Of all the GP7 photos I've been through, I sure can't see one either.

    Keith, thanks for the info! Was it mounted to the frame or was it a fuel tank mount?

    That explains it why anyone cannot see it on photos!

    Thanks Karl!
