G'day Rob,

That electronic ignition should serve you well.

I hope it does, I bought one for the flathead V8.

Damn good looking truck you have there. Well done!

Don't suppose you feel like a holiday to QLD, to finish mine?

ony the rate I am going it will be another five years before my blitz is finished. Maybe I need a holiday at home to work on it. Still a trip to Qld has its appeal.

Another small piece added at long last.
Had a bit of a drive around the paddock this morning for my enjoyment, ran out of fuel six foot short of the shed and wont have any to start it again until Tuesday afternoon.

Finally had a rear window fitted, no invoice left so I will find out what it cost when I ring on Monday. I can now work on the toolbox and tyre carrier. It is a lot more comfortable in the cab without the rush of air through the back.

Robert.

What is the strap assembly with the two brackets fitted, running above the window?

David,
The metal strap held a canvas sheet to the cab and the two brackets accepted the ends of straps that held the canvas roll up.
