No Problem David. I checked some pictures this morning and Nick Bullock's C8 also has the light
So, I recon it is a real wartime configuration.Alex

It amazes me the amount of variations in the same model vehicles
 Neither of the c8's of mine have a hole for a light or vacuum line I suppose it could be a differences specified for each country demand vehicles ?

Light discussions
We have the same light on our Cab 11
Andrew the Cab 12 has a fold out windscreen and therefore the vacuum wiper line had to be run in another spot. On fords it ran up the right hand side of the cab support post (or 'A pillar'). Chevs, dunno where it went.

I checked and my C8 had the light there too. They say the memory is the first thing to go, don't they?

windshield frame...
Hi,
Dissasembled and sandblasted my inner and outer windshield frames this weekend. The inner one looked solid until blasting, which opened up a couple of big nasty holes in the lower corners. Used construction epoxy that is used to mount bolts in concrete to fill the the lower windshield frame problem areas, as I didn't want to end up making bigger holes by trying to weld up the thin metal with the mig. Sanded epoxy, primed and painted the frames..... Very glad to have serviceable winshield frames to work with! Thanks, David

steering wheel...
My steering wheel has some major cracks, so ground out all the problem areas with a grinder, and filled them with the same structural epoxy that I used on the windshield frame. Used body filler in the imperfections and sprayed several coats of black epoxy sealer on top.
Should the steering wheel be gloss or satin? Thanks, David

Thanks very much for the photo, Jaap!
Been out of pocket for the last few weeks on a vacation with my daughter in Colorado. After the family fun was over, it was time for me to have a little fun of my own... Still lots of old iron to be found. Am trying to locate the owner of this very nice GP Jeep in New Mexico. It was for sale, but the sign had rotted off the windshield and the phone number was unreadable. The AFKX 352 I have known about in Wyoming for a few years now, but it was a little pricey, and would take a low-boy equipment trailer to move legally, so I decided to pass it on to a man with the money to do it up correctly. Found it's sister in an old scrap yard the next day. They were both apparently used as rural school buses in the area years ago. I have a friend trying to deal with the eldery lady who owns the yard, so we'll see what happens. Picked up this very straight 1.5 ton ex USAF Chev, but had to leave it in Nebraska. Will probably go back for it later in the summer. Also found this modified T-16 and several half tracks in Nebraska, so will try and find out more information on these when I return to the area. Thanks, David Last edited by David DeWeese; 27-03-11 at 15:31.

little details...
Hi,
Received a set of nice toggle switch plates and a dash jewel for the C8 from Brian Asbury, (thanks again, Brian), and found a set of suitable ball-end toggle switches from the local hardware store. After looking through some cab 11 dash photos, I have a question about the order of the switches. I placed them as "instrument", "tail" and "stop", but would that be the correct order for a cab 11? Thanks, David

Thanks a lot Bob for the photos!
I'm going to go with the switch order on your truck in the second photo as it looks to be unmolested. Wonder why the three position switch on the instrument lights? Someone spent a lot of time and effort labeling all the controls in the first photo. Enlarged the photo a bit and it looked like the first toggle switch was labelled "heater"? Couldn't make out the others. Thanks again, David
