1940 Chev C15, Cab 11 restoration in Holland

[jaap de wit]

after I have painted the front of the radiobody, I had to do this first because I can't do it when it sits on the truck. it is now the time to put the body on the truck now it is still lightweight it only took 3 man to lift it. the body was attached to the frame of the truck at 6 points. now the body is on the truck I started with the back panels to fit on. first I placed the lower part on to draw a line for the door opening and the hatch for the generator compartment. then cut them out and glued the panel back in place.
when this was dry I started bending the corners at the door and hammering the metal in place this took some time to do it right, the same go's for the hatch opening. now it was time to do the same with the upper part of the back body. I have used big head nail to attach the metal around the corners, when the side panels go on they fall over these nails so they can't come out.
see you next time when I do the sides.
cheers jaap
