1941 Chevrolet Portee

[Rookie]

Due to an overindulgence in Dutch beer during the drought I managed to put three rolls of photographs of the disassembly of the Portee through the washing machine.

Being a Newbie and an idiot I now have a shed full of cab parts that I cant work out in which order to repair and re assemble. This included what I felt to be wooden insulating bits between body bits.

THE QUESTION: Is there anywhere on the web or MLU that shows the cab assembly? I have the manuals on line for everything but the body assembly.

Rookie - but yourself a digital camera. Millions of images, inexpensive to run and avoids the washday blues.

Hi Eric

Not being able to figure out what parts are, or where they go is about par for this game. The suggestion to use a digital camera is a good one. As you get to that problem of what goes here or what's this part for take a picture and post it. There are lots of us out there who have been through the same routine and will be glad to help sort out the problems.

For example my 1941 Pattern 12 is back on the road and reassembled, but I've still got some parts left over. Some are spares and some are ones that I haven't remembered where they go. But I have tons of pictures of the disassembly and reassembly to refer back to. Some are already posted on my web site.

So start clicking away and posting the pictures.

I am really thankful over the response from MLU guys

My wife bought me a yew bewt digital camera for Xmas, Unfortunately it needed a drive system that I did not have! e.g. Windows 2000 or Xp I have now got a laptop that is loaded with this but I need one of my mates who is a computer tech to load a drive for the photos. He has been dragging his tail but hopefully I will be able to post some decent photos of the project (and the drunks who assist) when it is running.

Hope to be able to contribute and learn, the info from you guys is brilliant.

PS there is a thing on TV on 24 April (ANZAC DAY) on our newest VC winner.

No doubt a MLU person will source it.

Regards

Rookie
