geez I had the original cab trim for years, nobody was interested till last year, including NOS wood for above the windshield, and sides.. and under cab floor on top of the frame... (still with Ford stamped parts numbers on the OD painted wood... all finally gone last summer.
AS for the window..I didnt notice anybody answer your question.. The rear window had a double channel felt surround in which two metal panels were fitted.... to see out the back you had to slide one open (meaning you could only ever open one-half of the space.) The stamped metal channel into which the felt was fitted is almost always rotted away as they were very prone to rust over the years..as such most CMPs post-war had the panels removed and glass window put in. other rust-prone areas are the mid-cab mating seam, and all along the cab rear floor If yours was a wireless model, which it is not, it would have a small square cutout in the back of the cab (approx 6x6in) near the drivers head..this was for the canvas speaker tube as mentioned in an earlier post. Your truck is looking very good.!!! .

Ford F8 wiring
Gordon - in reply to your post of last November, I think that the diagram for wiring up to unit 2203 is for Cab 11 and for units from 2204 is cab 12. Cab 13 is entirely different.

Yes looking very good, can not wait to see the finished product.
Wiring is a bit confusing, there are two books 1- Drivers hand book dated 1940 for both Ford and Chevrolet shows fig 70 for Chevrolet and fig 71 for Ford # 2 book FORD DRIVERS SPECIAL PATTERN Vehicles hand book is for the 13 cabs and shows fig 121 to serial 2203 and fig 122 from serial 2204.

Here is the wiring after 1940 probably 1941 or 1942 for 12 and 13 cab trucks from the special pattern vehicles hand book and the dash lay out for 12 and 13 cab.

Service of F8 , C8 trucks
Just a question about where these 2wd trucks like mine would have served in Europe. From Africa I would think some went into Italy , how about in northern europe?
I was thinking about using markings from Moosomin's 101st LAA ,maybe ? They were with the 4th armoured Div. Any Ideas? Anthony
