Righto - as I were
Okey Dokey
Will continue here........ Front shell is off. Oh boy! How much easier are the 13's to pull apart?? They would have half the number of bolts compared to a 12 Cab. The trucks are a great example of wartime development in improving design, reducing amount of materials used and speeding up production of units per day.

Interesting comparison
Interesting to go from restoring a cab 12 to 13 - undoubtedly the more satisfying way to go. Just wait till you drive it - you'll be amazed at how much room there is.
At this rate you'll have her finished in a couple of weeks! K Quote:

Back into it
Isnt it rude of normal life duties to get in the way of truck restoration.
Anyway they did... but they can"t forever!!  So Ive picked up where I left off. Decided to finish attacking the Cab. Managed to get all the floor screw headed bolts intact... bar two. Point for discussion. The webbing under the floor has definitely been impregenated with something from the Factory. Does anyone have a name for it apart from black sticky tarry stuff

Looks exactly like my F15A when i first started stripping her , don`t be surprised if you find a few holes in the chassis once you remove the lime/super coat off the back end of the chassis .
great job so far

Hi Tony & Clevo
I was thinking about the webbing in between the cab & frame . It could be a mixture of Stockholm tar & Linseed oil that the webbing was soaked into. I use Stockholm tar as a thread anti seize on track bolts on earth moving equipment it is brilliant if there is no heat ( Dad & I did a set of tracks on an excavator that did a bit of work in salt water 10 years later give or take we were able to undo the track bolts ) Stockholm tar is old school pushed aside by the new products.It is brilliant to protect threads if there is not a lot of heat ie not for use on engines. But good for body & chassis bolts. It is what I will be using all over the cab 12 when it starts to go together Sooner than later I hope

Time does get away
About time for a very quick update..on the little F15.
Finally got the right paint match in terms of colour. Before anyone says... "that's not khaki no3" I can assure you this colour has been painstakingly matched to an original sample from the truck that was not exposed to fading. So it is spot on. What I am a bit ticked off about is the semi gloss finish 'cause we also worked on getting a flat to matt finish. The spec's sent to the paint maker specified that 20% flattening agent was required. Anyway I'll work on that. Couple of weld repairs were done and then blasted, undercoated and painted. All done by Tasman Grit in Wagga. I simply dont have the facilities to sand blast and when it is done you've got to get the paint on quick smart.. so they have done that as well. Great to have some progress which can be seen. Never ceases to amaze me just how well these trucks come up..
