Bob I am curious how these wingnuts You wrote about were securing the hood. Do You have any photo? I also can't find any bolts for wingnuts in engine cover panels. On the picture You have posted there are two hooks which purpose was probably to secure the hood. I don’t think it was original design as I can see any trace of it in my truck or on Cletrac vehicle.

Ah yes .... the details.
Hi Jacek
NO.... those two clips on my cab 11 are WRONG..... they were added by the previous owner and have no place on a cab 11 The hood on factory pictures was held by two nuts, one in each forward corner....... I have seen many pictures with washers welded upright on those nuts for easier dissassembly in routine maintenance..... they may have been replaced by wing nuts at the factgory eventually. Will look for other pictures. A friend of mine has found the supplier for the canvass web for the hood and I will forward to you separately....... Cheers

A few quick pictures...
Showing the hood on an early C8 cab 11
the two bolt holes are marked Also included the dash portion which has retained its lettering even thoguh the rest of the truck is totally rusted. Not sure if the lettering was only o the early no vent models. Looking for other pics. Cheers

There are 4 possible holes for bolts, but only two in the center could be used for wingnuts. Or it was not a wingnut but a wingbolt they used?

This hood is all original. Those bent straps hook onto the rear of the opening and two bolts hold the front down. You can see the only holes on the rear of the opening hold down the rubber weatherstripping. The two holes on the front that are an inch or so from the edges are where the bolts go. The parts book says:
Screw, hood centre panel thumb (first jobs) (5801405)

So if hood was secured in these points it couldn’t be wingnuts because there are holders for square nuts underneath, so only bolt can go there.

Bingo
Thanks David
so the "Thumb screw" would be some kind of wing nut screw....... a short piece of threaded rod welded to a thumb screw. Jacek you have the right square nuts identified. If you have trouble finding thumbscrew in British/North American thread size let me know. Cheers
