Rear Window - F8
Are getting to that point where I need to know how the rear window in the cab was fabricated. When it arrived my truck simply had the rectangular opening but nothing else, no frame, no glass, nothing. Would someone please post some pictures/drawings of what they're supposed to look like. Frame? Glass or Plexiglas? Sliding or fixed?
Any information any of you might have would be much appreciated! Regards, Jim

Glass?
ummm....Wot Glass????
I think most CMP's just had a roll up canvas cover for the rear cab window and this may be why you have no frame or glass for it.  Although I found this photo of an F8a and it shows what looks like a frame and glass.

You have 2 options .. the F8 and C8 used either the glass .. for the GS/personel version , or for the FFW version, a metal cover with turnbuckle clips for the speaking tube canvas thing. My C8 came with the original glass still there, it was a personel version. A screw in surround holds the glass in. I have the drawing for it somewhere here .. stand by . They used those turn buckle fasteners to fasten the canvas speaking tube to the cab .. the tube enabled the crew in the rear to communicate with the driver , you shouted down the tube . The idea and the whole concept came from the British 8cwt class . .. Morris Commercials . The pic tells the story.... Mike

this is the drawing .. if you wish to install glass .. I will take some close up pics of my cab for you .. but the surround 'hold in' frame will be difficult to find . Good Luck .. Mike
