Could it be a cab 11........

Do you have the data plate???

It is not unusual to have cab 11 and 12 mixed up during the assembly line changes......

Cab 11 did not have a roof hatch...... look and feel under the floor below the hinged door section......do you have a 1/2 steel plate in both corners of the cab that were added as stiffeners....they are cut curved to match the cab floor profile......... also do you have a 5/8 or 3/4 inch reinforcement bar under the hood behind the radiator.... that acts as a stiffener to bring the two sides of the nose together........ rood stiffeners should be the same as found on the inside backwall of your cab......

You may have a cab 11...... some where on the web is a factory assembly line showing a cab 11 rigid frame installed on a cab 12 rood with the rectangular hatch.......

On the windshield frame....... the suggestion of using some epoxy, liquid steel or other filler to add sufficient strength to the frame to use as is..... particularly if you use it bolted to the vertical tube support.

Do you have pictures of the truck's front??? as in do you have air intake vents on each side of the rad???

I am puzzled by the fact that the inside of the roof shows no sheet metal reinforcement rib spot welded in place.....and the trim around the windshield ... the ones that has all the wood screws is different than what I have seen.

On the fuel tank they are the very early models..... scratch the large oval covers to see if they are brass of gray pot metal.

I can tell you from experience that once the tool box is installed you will be hard press to find a service station nozzle that will fit ....... I have resorted to using a 2 foot section of radiator hose....or if lucky find yourself an original "horsecock" flex steel adapter for the 2 gallon POW cans.

You may have a very special truck..... would love to see more pictures of your truck....... as I am currently rebuilding my 2B1 cargo box........good luck.

By now you have guested that I have a cab 11 and a few cab 12 for spare parts......... I found the improvements on the cab12 to be significant enough to add them all to my cab 11. If I cab be of any further assistance just ask away......
