chev 15 no 12 cab: protective pad vulcanised to the inside roof

[Phil Waterman]

Hi Bob

My Pattern 12 C60L has the rubber crash pads over both driver and c-odriver's seats. I've never put the cab top back on the truck since restoring it 10 years ago. The first rally I took it to didn't have seat belts and people following me on the trail ride commented that I was being bounced up out of the seat quite a distance on every big bump.

To keep the co-driver in their seats is the purpose of handle on the floor of the cab.

They seem to have deleted the crash pads in the Pattern 13s tho the need was still there, I launched my daughter into the roof of the HUP when she was a teenager, on a particularly hard bump.


Cheers Phil
