Default Back box 1B1 fly by the seat of your pants update.

Bows and spare tire are in. See top of back 2 bows"highlighted" left side, where there are mounting holes for a panel/clip rack for the telescopic 20/32' 19 set antennae??? They look like rifle clips on the vague Gregg Profiles drawing of the 1B1, so this is a stab in the dark. We had an original slider for the cabinet doors on the back right, so we bent up the cabinet to fit. I know we didn't get the spade/pic mounting back left right , but it will suffice for now until a proper drawing comes around. The back folding shelf for the exterior mounting of the chorehorse could be a challenge. Tommorrow honing new Kingpin set into place. Cheers for now, looking forward to getting dirty all over again with the FAT. Cheers Rob

This is a pic I found on the net somewhere. It might help a bit.

Default A good tyre find.

Just found 4 NOS 9:00 x 13 Firestone tires for this truck. As we all know , the 13 inch rubber is a tough find. Should have them on the truck this week, which will give the truck a really nice original look. Cheers Rob
