Default Roof

I'm calling 'Chev' on the balance of probability given I don't remember seeing any Ford roofs here without the hatch - I don't know whether there are any other physical differences - perhaps our Canadian experts can fill us in?

The absence of a hatch is interesting in the Australian context: the initial import of Cab 12s (all Ford F60L) had the roof punched by Ford (Aust) and a pressed steel hatch rim installed by welding (and pretty rough it was, too). The hatch was dimensionally smaller than the later Cab 13 hatch of similar pressed metal design.

I agree with Keith: the usual 'red ants' along the bottom bracket to roof interface detract substantially from its $$ value!
