F60L Cab 12 truck

Thanks Tony for the quick feedback. I will have to check if this was the same as mine or not. I guess im about to find out how costly freight is. Cheers again mate very kind of you.

Mike C thanks mate i have been offered the shell at $125 but think i will put funds towards the Cab 12 instead. Can buy on behalf of other people if there is a want for it, in fact he has two.

to apply these decals I have been informed and used to great success, Windex glass cleaner.
Prepare the gauge face so that it is clean (as if for painting), spray liberally with Windex window/glass cleaner, peel backing off decal and apply decal. With the Windex on the gauge face you can move the decal into the correct position, move air bubbles out and when happy with position, allow the Windex to evaporate away leaving the decal firmly in place.

I have done my Ford gauges this way and am happy with the results.

Thanks Darrin great tip which i will use for sure

On another matter a great day at the museum volunteering to look after the kids and adults in the WW2 Universal Carrier.(I have the all important orange vest on) Cant wait to get my project done so she can go along side all these great military Vehicles. Money on the day was raised for Angel Flight, so it was for a good cause.

Hello All.

Well i have decided to number my truck on the following photo's. Has anyone got any information on this truck and its service during the war? The plate left of the truck is No 7 ( my family's lucky number) which is why im going with it and D114 is also going on the cab 12.

The '7' on a round yellow plate was the weight of the loaded vehicle, known as a Bridge plate.

Engine looks good!

Unit sign indicates Water Carrying Coy: 157 on Red Green diagonal background. Interestingly the placement of digits and diagonal appears to accommodate lower white band indicating Corps Troops, but the band itself is not present. Perhaps it was overpainted upon transfer to a Divisional unit. The white band system was abolished in June '44 instructions.

Thanks for the feed back lads. Great information Tony not sure what unit i will go with.

As for today and putting the V8 in.. well all i can say the older you get the more you get used to people letting down. On the upside went to see Colin Jones which is always a pleasure to visit his home and having a chat.
