Hi Tony,

If Cliff is talking about the two horizontal ribs in the lower back panel of the cab, they look like ribs pressed in to stiffen the panel, possibly to enable a thinner guage steel to be used. Is this cab produced by Holden? Could have been a war economy measure.

Oh...er... righto, I knew that!!

Good point Richard, I reckon thats what those ribs are there for. It is an Aussie built cab from the air vents.

Still like to know about the fixtures at the back if anyone has any ideas...

Robert, would either of those trucks have the same front axle and brakes I have been describing on this thread?? I am still looking for the Brake shoes.

sorry Tony, just spotted the struts at the bottom, reckon it is a bit of "bush engineering" as the cab might have been loose on its mounts.

Not sure if you'll find the attached 1940-1943 Holden body-delivery data to be useful, Tony. I don't know what many of those model designations represent.
