Hi Mike

Pardon my ignorance but always assumed that Delco Remy were in to electrical components only.... now thanks to you I know what make they are..... they are considerably feeble looking compared to the cab 13 shocks and large connecting arms.

Is there any value in trying to rebuild them or just clean them and leave them alone as long as they are complete???? with all the springs on the cab 11 and the inherent friction between the well rsuted left springs I doubt working shocks would make that much difference..... in 1956 the flat fendered Dodge power wagon still listed rear shocks as an option......same concept...

The broken bell housing and tranny housing is sad but not to worry since I have a spare from the C60 frame. Will store the cracked tranny for internal spare parts.

That is a nice picture of the cab 12..... in the rear of the cargo box he has the POW can rack.... are they all like that.... it seems that all cab 11 I have seen so far have a small box half the size of the POW rack...completely closed by a solid door and is referred as a chain locker...... any idea were the POW cans would be stored on a cab 11?????

One more question while I have an expert on hand.... my gas tank on the cab 11... only one on the driver's side... as a rather unusual oval cover in the middle....about 4 x 8 inches.... were the ssender/float wire is connected..... it is held there by a series of small screew.... and it as a quarter turn valve on top... yet I have the traditional fuel tank valve in the floor area near the driver's seat..... is my gas tank off something else..... the filler neck is only about 3 inches long and vertical........ it clears the indentation in the tool box....

Thanks for your help..... weird how you ahve to go around the world to find out about a truck mad only 250 miles from where i live.
