What a beauty!
Great find, nice to see you have it home.
The footman loops were to secure a canvas bag which fitted over each windscreen so they could be fully open and not reflect the sun to enemy aircraft. I have only one photo of these actually in use.

All Members Any photos showing details of the sunshine roof with canvas closed or open, would also be appreciated. Same with sun visor/s.

Cabin frame for canvas covered doors.
dsc_0974-resized-960.jpg dsc_0975-resized-960.jpg
This is a cabin frame I bought yesterday, used with the steel framed doors which were canvas covered. The friend I got this from was possibly going to cut off the extra metal piece at front, where the doors fit onto the two pins, and use with the standard doors. Couldn't let that happen. So, with assistance from Rob P., and the measurements he sent me, I will need to make yet another jig, this time for funny looking door frames. The sunshine cab roof and canvas door cabin will both be going onto my grey truck.

Tony.
Congratulations with your Sunshine Cab Roof find. Just curious if there were ever any supplementary Instructions or Parts Lists published covering this equipment and use in Australian Service? I am assuming if enough trucks were so equipped, there might be paperwork surviving somewhere that would be of great assistance for you. David

That's a darn good question, David.
I don't recall seeing anything, but must say I had not been searching for anything. I'll browse the workshop manuals and parts lists. Surely they must rate a mention in there somewhere. Does anyone know any written or photographic information directly related to these rooves?
