Sorted through my engine cover sheetmetal to see what I have. Does anyone have a photo of the transmission and emergency brake lever cover? Mine is missing.

Thanks, David

Beautiful job on the truck...That checkerplate is the very early type and rare and unavailable today..I believe it is called "Bar and dot" checkerplate..
At least that is what I call it..
Keep up the great job..
