Default cab deconstruction and repairs

I have taken the cab apart and have found some curious bits, deficiencies and what needs repairing.
First, there is a fitting bolted to the interior of the cab on the drivers side. Does any one recognize what it is for?
The second and third picture are from the frame rail under the passenger side door. There was nothing that the pipe fastened to and nothing to suggest where it should connect. Any suggestions as to its purpose?
I also found that the carriers for the front wheel engage operator is missing, also missing on my other 60 cwt parts chassis. Is there a reason why these parts get removed?

The tacelmite button fitting would suggest that the pipe would be an external grease point for an otherwise hard to get to lubrication point. Could be for the release bearing or maybe the clutch linkage? Have a look at the motor positioning to see what t likely hooks up to.

Default Passenger side tube and fitting - tire pump

Hi Gordon

I strongly suspect that the tube and fitting on the passenger side is the fitting for the air pump. I'll try and find a photo of the what the through frame fitting looks like for comparison.

Keep up the good work.

Cheers Phil

Default engine position

Rob

Here is a picture of the engine ( well, the absence of ) that came with the truck, no transmission either. The tubing leading off the fitting looks rather large for grease and is a flared fitting.

Bob

You are no help at all!

Phil

Not to pick favourites, but your suggestion might be the winner. The piping would be what one would expect for an air line.

Thanks guys

Gord

Default missing parts

Bob
My computer skills are very poor and I can't upload the parts book page too show the missing parts, so its a thousand words instead. From the transfer case control shifter an operator goes down to the high/low declutch shaft in the transmission. It requires brackets to steady the cross control shaft that hold the operators that connect the shifter to the declutch shaft. All the plates and operators are missing. If this doesn't make sense, it is shown page 110 of the C60L 3 Ton spare parts book.
Everything from part #4.4993 to 4.4998 is missing, not a huge problem, just be nice to have.

Gord

Default Do you have a transmission?

Hi Gordon

Without going all the way back through the thread do you have a engine, bell-housing and transmission?

Cheers Phil
