3) On the engine housing, on the drivers side (R.H.), is a decal or two – what is the message? Is there anyone
who has pictures of all the decals on the engine housing, on the backside over the gearshift lever to?




4) On the lower cab frame on the backside are some hooks –what for?


Thanks Manfred

From the bottom up - the hooks are to hold a canvas bag designed to hold the side curtains when not in use.

The missing decals (zinc plates on earlier vehicles) are: Lower one is the gearshift instruction and capacities of engine, cooling system, that sort of thing, then the square one above that is a warning about not using the front axle unless necessary for traction. The one above that was a location sometimes used for the vehicle ID with chassis type and build date, contract. This was sometimes located on top of the dashboard.

On the driver side - the one to the front of the vehicle is a warning about proper lubrication of the vehicle and the one at the rear is only for winch equipped trucks warning about running the winch cable under tension.
