Hi Grant,as far as i am aware the "Korean cab"is a NZ Army feature,was done on trucks earmarked for overseas service,as most of the trucks were parked in the open air since 1942,
the rear panel had rusted out.
The Korean cab back panel replaced the two original back panels by being in one piece to the roof seam.
the join at the roof seam had an angle iron frame from the top of the windscreen frame,running right round the cab,so all original angle iron frame was done away with.
The roof panel was made in one piece with the corners checked out and folded/rolled to form the roof skin,corners being welded and all being spot welded in place.
I do have some photos of the original cab somewhere that i can photo again and post on here.
Maybe we should start a new thread for Korean cabs?
