It amazes me the amount of variations in the same model vehicles
 Neither of the c8's of mine have a hole for a light or vacuum line I suppose it could be a differences specified for each country demand vehicles ?

Light discussions
We have the same light on our Cab 11
Andrew the Cab 12 has a fold out windscreen and therefore the vacuum wiper line had to be run in another spot. On fords it ran up the right hand side of the cab support post (or 'A pillar'). Chevs, dunno where it went.

I checked and my C8 had the light there too. They say the memory is the first thing to go, don't they?

windshield frame...
Hi,
Dissasembled and sandblasted my inner and outer windshield frames this weekend. The inner one looked solid until blasting, which opened up a couple of big nasty holes in the lower corners. Used construction epoxy that is used to mount bolts in concrete to fill the the lower windshield frame problem areas, as I didn't want to end up making bigger holes by trying to weld up the thin metal with the mig. Sanded epoxy, primed and painted the frames..... Very glad to have serviceable winshield frames to work with! Thanks, David

steering wheel...
My steering wheel has some major cracks, so ground out all the problem areas with a grinder, and filled them with the same structural epoxy that I used on the windshield frame. Used body filler in the imperfections and sprayed several coats of black epoxy sealer on top.
Should the steering wheel be gloss or satin? Thanks, David

gas tank switch lever..
Was in need of a replacement fuel tank toggle switch lever for my existing switch.
Looked like another of those unobtainable items for an 11/12 cab, so found a replacement until I can locate an original.. Looked around in my junk and came up with an old M-series vacuum wiper motor with an interesting lever, then modified it to fit the original C8 tank switch. Looks pretty convincing at ten feet away... Thanks, David
