I've got to start putting some of this stuff back together so I'll have a little more room in the shop. You can see in the picture that there's not much empty floor space left. I'm going to bolt the arches and associated pieces on tomorrow and then blast the floor and cab back. I made some new oak body mount pieces. That's them hanging on the left end of the engine picker.
Those overload springs looked like they were installed by the army as they were khaki coluor. I'm wondering if they came out with them when the cab 12s were used as GS vehicles to handle a little more weight. The spring stoppers that clamp onto the frame seem to be purpose built for the 8 cwts since the half tons and three quater ton civvy units have a narrower frame rail where they clamp to and the bigger trucks have a different looking stopper. Those rubber bumpers are supposed to hit the rear end .
