Robert Pearce Starts to restore

Lifting the top half of the cab off without a front end loader is hard work but I managed in the end.

The nose, mudguards, cab rear pannel and one floor plate came off today. The broken bolt tally rose rapidly when I started on the floor. I discovered if you place a 3/4 spanner over the captive cage the nut is held snug and the rattle gun will either remove the bolt or snap it off without wacking your knuckels. The boys got to help today they held the nose clear of the radiator as I lowered it with the comealong.

The steering column has been repaired in the distant past and the switch panel has a combination of round and ovil holes.

Hi Robert - your switch plate is a new configuration to me. Is the scripting embossed on the plate or are they the remains of small switch plates?

Bob, It is a brass plate painted black and the letters are embossed into it.

[Bob Moseley (RIP)]

Hi Robert - thanks for the information. To save me trawling back through the thread, exactly what truck is this plate from including year. I see there is a hole where the speedometer should be, do you have one?
Bob
