C8 progress in Texas

..others have helped me along the way also.

David the little chromed door insert is from Mac in Niagara Falls NY as per Grant's info

...and would be eternally grateful if you could dig up and photograph your rods against a 1 inch squared paper or with a yard stick next to it...... with dimensions of the rods diam.

Mike.... Yes I believe that I have seen.. maybe even have pictures of the Ford doors with and without a inner skin.... but would also suspect that the doors were interchangeable between cab 11 and 12 and Ford to Chev.

My cab 11 had a Ford grill instead of Chev.... which apparently was not unusual when parts where in short supplies.

Hi Bob
Yes, I will photo with scale when next out to the truck. In the meantime here are a couple of photos I took the other day. On reflection, I wonder if the rods actually are original as they look pretty crude - the screen itself certainly is. In any case they work just fine. You will see that the main pieces are flat bar with the "square" section fittings welded on.

and here is the other picture (how do you add two pictures at once?)

[Bob Carriere]

Will take photos of my NOS side curtains..... I suspect they are identical to yours....... as we have both cab 11 style doors.

Your rod pictures seem to be very similar ....but theirs is different shape.....to what Mac has illustrated in their catalogue but it is a very poor small scale pic.

I am realy curious as to their overall shape....... once inserted in the canvas sleeve they must be a bitch to remove......

If I am lucky with your pictures and the outline of the sleeve in my curtain, I should be able to reproduce them.

If successful I will post on the forum for future reference of others.

You little ripper. Well done David. Thats the first time I have ever seen those curtain rod's. I reckon I could make something like that as well.

To answer your question - just add your second photo the same way you added your first. Hit the paper clip, hit browse, select your photo and hit upload.

Well..... just press your left mouse button.....dont actually hit anything...

Good luck with your repro's Bob... interested to hear what your discoveries will be.


Um......and sorry for hijacking your thread David De.

Actually... Im keen to see what your fabrication skills come up with as well..

Here's some more photos of my original - hopefully showing dimensions and also angle and offset of the rearward one. The flat bar piece lies parallel to the screen.The overall length of each side supprt is approx 18 ins from the top to the bottom of the "spike".

Still only one pic at a time - where's the paper clip Tony? Cant see one anywhere?

Completely by the way - my side screen has TS1-276 in red paint on it matching same ID on rear of tarp. Any idea which unit - truck was in Eastern Ontario all of war as far as I know - "training school" at CFB Kingston???
