Cab11 C8 Bush Find

[Bob Carriere]

Early C8 with no air vent intake......noticed bumper is rolled steel and not U channel like the later cab 11 C15a. Noticed riveted license plate location....... and the inevitable Ford woven wire mesh rad cover as found on most early Chevs.

Rather unmolested early C8 dash set up....... and no hooks for the doors.

This C8 is totally rusted and clapped out.

Cab 11 cabs proved to be weak in such that driven without a roof there was little to beef up the support of the rear cab wall. On the cab 12 they added a half inch thick plate in the curved corner area under the existing floor plate that greatly stiffens the back wall. That also necessitate replacing/modifying part of the wooden spacer under the floor plate and between the rear bracket for the running board step.

I found the improvement of value and since I had the spare plates/parts elected to install the reinforcements on my cab 11. The floor angle iron of the rear wall has longer bolts to attach everything together solidly. The plates are factory drilled for the wooden block of the rifle holder.
