In my opinion every production line modification/improvements on the cab 12 was a positive step in making the truck more practical and sturdier...

The geometry of the cab 11 is very weak.....without the doors...the cab is a box with no ends.... some Australian models tied a steel cable between the leading corners of the cab to the front grill....... the 1/2 inch plates were an improvements....so was the bar across the inside of the engine compartment....and the extra 5/8 of an inch space behind the back rest of the seat......... opening windshield...... water coolant expansion tank..... proper marking lights on the front fenders....... better fuel filler pipes...... what else am I forgetting....... a lot of these production line modifications were retro fitted to cab 11......

.....and the eventual cab 13 addressed even more issues...... like foot room.... padded round hatches to spare the ribs of observers.....
