Default little details...

Hi,
Received a set of nice toggle switch plates and a dash jewel for the C8 from Brian Asbury, (thanks again, Brian), and found a set of suitable ball-end toggle switches from the local hardware store.
After looking through some cab 11 dash photos, I have a question about the order of the switches. I placed them as "instrument", "tail" and "stop", but would that be the correct order for a cab 11?
Thanks, David

Default Here is what I have in my photo archives

...picture taken at Coe Hill in 2005...... although truck had termianl cancer the interior still showed a good instrument/switch layout..... now this is a C8 and maybe different for a C15a.....

Thanks a lot Bob for the photos!
I'm going to go with the switch order on your truck in the second photo as it looks to be unmolested. Wonder why the three position switch on the instrument lights?
Someone spent a lot of time and effort labeling all the controls in the first photo. Enlarged the photo a bit and it looked like the first toggle switch was labelled "heater"? Couldn't make out the others.
Thanks again, David
