Nice going Tony....
...... nice to see the "Golden Arches" of the cab11/12...... so simple yet soooo complex.....
Make sure you get the engine sorted out good before putting up the cab or you will be sorry...... they were not designed for ease of access. Bob C

Feedback
At last, many thanks Bob for a comment on the truck. Any advice is more than welcome. We can attest to access of the engine as we got Howards cab12 going in a paddock. Keith has also advised me that some of the components in the engine bay were black such as the starter motor the generator and the spark plug conduits. You may also notice the carbie does not have the correct set up for the choke cable (so I'm told) nor is the fuel pump the original type (so I'm told)
I invite MLUer's to engage with me on this thread please.

Hi Tony,
one of the vagaries of the internet is it is hard to gauge interest in your posts/projects and so on. I find that it helps if you look at the veiws counter on "Index" page in each section. By my count you have had 253 (A great sounding number in its own right) interested veiwings. Thats either Howard trying to boost your morale by checking your post every five minutes, or quite a few genuinley interested parties following along, or as I like to think of it, Stalking...... One of the great Aussie traditions is to pick faults in everything, whenever/wherever possible, which means that no news is good news, which means you are doing everything perfectly! And as all MLUers are honory Aussies, this amounts to quite an accolade. Have fun with the old girl, I'll sit back quietly and watch........I like to watch..... (Oh dear not sure I like the sound of that, back to the shed I think,) Rich

There we go going kinky again.....
...for a minute I thought it was Jiff replying......
....but I must admit watching can be fun...... watching someone else work I mean...... I am good at that being a long time Pubic Servant!!! Still trying to work out the bugs on my cab 11 before fitting the a FORE mentioned SKIN..... Seems I will have to pull the floor plates to gain access to the adjusting rods of the Hi - Lo shifting rods in the T case..... in fact... I may have to drop the whole T case assembly to do the adjustment...... Now I know why so may old CMP had the original shifter removed and individual shifting levers butchered in place..... After watching Rob do and undo only to redo again is starter I can see how we learn the tricks of the CMP..... the slow - patient - hard way !!!! Don't be concerned with absolute historical accuracy for the Ford...primary goal to to get it running in a sfae dependable fashion...... after all you would be hard pressed to find 1940 air to inflate the tires...'esscouse me....tyres!!!! BooBee
