If you have any questions about how something is mounted on a Pattern 12 Chev now is the time to ask.

Hi All

This post is in response to a question asked by Alex van de Wetering who happened to send me a message asking about part numbers or a way of telling Pattern 11 from Pattern 12 Cab Frame.

His message came in the day I was swapping out cab frames. I have not found any part number stamped on the cab frames. But it occurred to me that one of the major differences was Pat 12 have a hinged hood so the holes for the hinge and there location should be a give away.

So the photos below are looking down on the top rail of the cab frame, with a tape measure stretched from one end to the other.

The center of the top frame is at inch 26 the driver side hinge outside mounding bolt hole is 16 inches in from the end and the other 18 inches

Alex I hope this is of help, because otherwise these are probably the dullest photos I have ever posted, not photo contest stuff.

Cheers Phil
