C8 data plate

[Mike K]

David ,

I have a 1940 cab 11 C8 that I restored about ten years back . I had to build a new 1A1 body from plans .

I am still looking for details of the top bows and how they fit onto the sides of the bed .

I have tried to work it out from photos , but its difficult getting it correct .

You are lucky to have a original body to copy or repair . There are not many left !

If you can make the time one day , it would be great to get some drawings .

I have the plans of the 1A1 body on CD , albiet rather unprofessionally done , but still, good enough to build a body .

Ian Richardson in the U.K., did all the plans for me , he was a saint !!! Ian also has a cab 11 C8 he is restoring .

On the road , the C8 can manage about 40 mph , my engine is the original factory fitted , with the cast iron pistons , standard bore . I got a set of aftermarket alloy pistons .020 on EBAY cheap . EBAY is also good for water pump kits etc.

I bought a set of MRF 900-13's with the NATO tread .

Idf you need any help email me
